Re: Best Big Game MEDIUM-LONG RANGE Bullet??

Upon reflaction we can almost make this load/caliber specific-- if I am only shooting out to 300 yds the North Fork bullets are just DANDY,signifiganly past that I may want something else.

Personally,I would consider distances out to 300 yds medium range and past 300 long range.

Why? Some caliber loads are practical out to 300 yds, and some further. The 338 WM for example.I consider it a natural 300 yard rifle and a perfect match for a NF bullet. A real hammer.If I go up in velocity/distance potential to a 338-378 WBY round at 3200 fps with a 225 gr load I am reaching past 300 yds and would need to consider an alternate bullet with a higher BC to conserve energy/trajectory over distance.
