[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2611910, member: 120766"] I'll throw out a few [I]possible[/I] explanations: -Saying that there are effectiveness problems doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to get a lesser result in a given case. It might be more about a type of failure that is more likely in certain situations ..... maybe a situation that you will never actually encounter. If you have a 10% chance of failure, you will have success 9 out of 10 times, which is a lot of success. If we are talking about either having a dead trophy elk on a big hunt vs. wounding him and having him get away, 10% higher likelihood of failure looks like a big number to me. For me, giving an animal a 10% better chance of not suffering more than necessary is worth me shelling out a few bucks as well. But in the end, it's somewhat subjective. And of course we don't know what these numbers really are since it's not very practical to run good studies/experiments with like 10,000 shots on certain game of a certain weight with X caliber and Y bullet at various distances. -Maybe those people are limiting themselves to shot angles where there bullet isn't being heavily stressed -Maybe they are shooting more at distance where these bullets are hitting in a more sweet-spot velocity -Maybe a combo of the previous two [/QUOTE]
