Have any of you fond a bulletin that consistently performs well inside 100yrds? Inside 50yrds?
I just purchased a .308 win with a 20” 1:10 twist barrel. I am considering using outfitter ammo by Hornady with the 165gr GMX bullet. I will take 99% of my animals inside if 100yrds. It’s not uncommon to take shots at 30-50yrds. Should I be concerned about the GMX’s performance at these close ranges? Mainly concerned of the bullet not expanding at those high velocities and light skinned game. Will this bullet perform well for my needs or do you recommend something different?
I’m worried about lead bullets fragmenting and monolithic not expanding. Can someone explain?
