Bullets favored for hunting from the ARC

[MTMAN]

LRG, I once fired some Berger 140 Hunters and Hornady 140 SST into a soft dirt bank at 850 yds from my 6.5 creedmoor, they were traveling just over 2700 fps. The Bergers were iffy as to expansion but the SSts did expand. In my tests, mostly into wet Montana mud hollow point bullets tend to bend at long rang and not expand. I try not to use hollow point hunting bullets past 300 yards. Now for 6ARC I believe you will be hard pressed to reach 300 yds with any bullet and still retain 1000 Foot pounds, which is the old standard for deer size game. New bullets and fast twist rifles may be an ecception for that 1000 LBS rule and may perform at lower velocities. You'll just have to find some Montana gumbo mud to test in- Ha, Ha!
