With many of th e cartridgesavailable today, th e next heavier bullet ratedin th e "good" class will only shoot aboutPh" lower at 300 yards, with a 200 yar dzero sett ing. It 's a lot easier to hold a bithigher, and not be both ered with as mu chwind drift when using th e heavier bullet,than to hold 'way off target for windagewith lighter, shorter bul lets.Here is a table showing bullet pOSItIOnsof three different cartridges, used for allround shooting.

Most rifles willshoot a different group center with different .bullets, 50 a slight sight adjustm ent isnecessary, to bring th em back on aim.For varm int hunting, either han dload agood pointed, soft point bullet, or, if you usefacto ry ammunition, lise hollow poin t, orsoft nose pointed bull ets, in pr eference tocont rolled expansion types. Th ese are intended to hold togeth er on game animals,and won't open consistently on th e smalle rvarmints. I have seen good han dloaded 150gra in spitzer soft point bullets, out of a.30·06, cut crows in half at 200 yards, whena cont rolled expansion bullet, wit h its heaviercopper jacket, would not have opened ,on such a small target.Wh en choosing a heavier bull et, don't userou nd nose, or flat nose bullets, unl ess ab soultelynecessary. Th ese will n ot shoot asflat as th e more efficient point ed types, andwill lose velocity and energy fa ster, therebypartly overcomin g th e advantag e of th ehigher sectional dcnsit y of th e heavier bull et.A word of ad vice on th e excellent classfrom .291 and higher. To tak e full advantageof th ese morc efficient, heavier bullets,for game shooting over 200 yards, you mu sthave a lar ge capa city cartridge ca se. Th ecase ha s to hold enough powder to send thebull et at practical velocities, while stillmai ntaining safe pressur es. This will ruleout some of th e smaller case capac ity cartridgesfor th ese heavier bull ets, and youwill have to stay in the very good cla ss, withsectional densities from .241 to .290.For all round shooting, day in an d dayout, over all ranges, and all wind conditions,choose a bullet with enough sectional den.sity to do the job efficiently.
