[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 662272, member: 10832"] LTLR, I can sure relate to your concept of shooting lighter weight bullets out to the distances you discuss. You are correct, too many guys get caught up in the high BC, high bullet weight talk and miss the point that there may be better options at the shorter distances that 95-99% of animals are shot at (1/2 mile or less). As much as I wish it weren't the case I shoot lighter bullets better. I think much of this is due to the fact that like you I like carry weight LR rigs so the lower recoil associated with lighter bullets make for a more forgiving platform. Some of it may also be that I don't like a lot of recoil. It doesn't bother me per se but I don't enjoy it as much to be sure and my guess would be that any mental recognition of that concept is going to require much more mental focus to overcome form inconsistencies. I have been following your many CE threads religiously and you have some great ones going right now, from the EOL reviews to the CE results. From this LR guy, thanks for being willing to share your knowledge and expertise with the rest of us. It takes a lot of extra time for you to get everything written up and on this site but it is much appreciated! I personally don't know very many guys that shoot as much as you do and are as capable as you are to get repeatable results that are worthy of mentioning here are semi-scientific. Your info saves many of us a lot of time, money and research! One question, I know you mentioned you haven't recovered a CE bullet but can you tell from the tissue damage how the bullet is performing? How much expansion? Does it shed its pedals creating multiple wound paths? Thanks, Scot E. [/QUOTE]
