    KiwiGreg , I must say for me the 180 gr Berger does the trick as as you may realize I am not an animal hunter as such but shoot steel so look mainly for a good wind bucker and not something that wind expand and kill quick .

    In saying given the subject matter here in question in this blog is really about what happens in them thar Hills and valleys with the wind and not about bullets that enable us to beat our inadequacy of wind calling .High BC bullets are great for many reasons including needing less elevation on your scope ! but we have to cover the important skills first and by far for a competent long range shooter as many of us {are -can be -would like to be -think we are -and should be } is being able to know what is happening out there at any time of the day and know and understand what can happen at different times in the day .
    Plenty of you in the south shoot these big ranges in the hills and can share your experiences-let here em good bad and ugly
