All deer taken in camp the 5 years have been under 100 yards. The blacktails in the Sierras don't come out in the day and are usually taken when they pop up after bedding down in the buck brush. So i don't need a long range performer past 300 yards. Looking at 140gr Berger bullet i'm thinking it would be better for shots under 300 yards. At 300 yards the 123gr SST has a Hornady HITS score of 659 and the 140gr Berger VLD Hunting has a HITS score of 795. At a 100 yards the Berger is at 884 and the 123SST is at 759. Thoughts?
How fast is that Berger starting at?
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
