[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1474612, member: 30902"] Joe I went through the same thought process you are following back in the late eighties and 90's. Unless you interrupt the CNS it doesn't matter what bullet you use they are gong to run some distance. Even with a perfect heart shot I've seen a white tail run a hundred yards only to find that their heart had exploded like a bomb went off when the ballistic NBT shelled out. What I want every time is a good entry and an exit somewhere between the size of a quarter or a half dollar so that there will always be a good blood trail to follow if they run. I also always try my dead level best to ensure a solid CNS hit every time wherever it is possible so that I can avoid it all together if I can. For that I went to bonded bullets after finding the Nosler Partition was too much of a hole puncher not giving adequate exit wounds for my taste. I am admittedly pretty much a freak on this subject and most people would think my requirements are so narrow as to be overly obsessive. Any less than that size exit I consider to be unreliable for blood trailing but at the same time It nauseates me to see a whole I can stick my fist through and I absolutely hate wasting any more meat than is absolutely necessary. For me now I've settled on the Peregrines because no matter the conditions I get predictable controlled expansion every time and I've had a higher percentage of bang flop kills with them than all other bullets combined. The next most reliable for me have been the Hornady Interbond followed by the Nosler Accubond. [/QUOTE]
