I guess what I really need is advice on the best bullet for my needs.
I want a bullet that expands very quickly at both high and low velocity but still penetrates well, won't break up at high speeds, has a high ballistic coefficient for when I need to take a long shot and is very accurate. What is ideal for me is a single bullet that will give devastating kills on everything from coyotes to black bear and at ranges from 10 to 300 yards even if I mess up and my shot placement is slightly less than perfect. I want clean kills, but if I do have to track a wounded animal I want a decent exit wound to help with the blood trail. I know its a lot to ask from one bullet, but I like to have absolute confidence when I encounter a good trophy, even if conditions aren't perfect. In short I want the perfect bullet.
Saving money would also be nice but I usually put less than ten shots a year through my rifles, a handful to check my zero, one shot for a deer, and maybe one for a bear this year. So I'm willing to pay a bit extra per round for the best performance. So my question really is what is the BEST bullet, if cost doesn't matter.
