[QUOTE="rost495, post: 8089, member: 1768"] Chris Send me an email with contact info [email]jcrost@cvtv.net[/email] Johnny Appreciate the thoughts. I happen to have very good luck with flat base X bullets. And they expand down to very slow speeds. And they shed the petals and penetrate like crazy as needed. I have read lots of thoughts on bullets and be assured that I'm taking that into account. I target shoot a lot and am still scared of all the MK bullets used. I see so many of them in the impact areas that have zero expansion at all. I'd rather not go that route at the moment. Plus, as noted, the performance of the X at 802 yards for 2 shots on my caribou was superb. Neither stayed in the animal and the second broke the spine. Lots of internal damage. Which leads me to think if I'd have goofed and hit the shoulder I'd have still had the energy to kill. But, like I said, I'm always open for new thoughts and certainly folks luck with all the other bullets is good news. In the end maybe a 338 heavy bullet is good enough without expansion. Thanks for your time. Jeff [/QUOTE]
