[QUOTE="4LClover, post: 435212, member: 27558"] And for a little humor.... Client reads Berger ad in Handloader magazine..... Client uses VLD on coastal brown bear and shoots it in the shoulder at 40yd.. Bear gets upset and mauls hunter. Guide shoots bear in head with Nosler partition and kills it. Partition found in the bears body cavity. Client sues Berger for false advertising. I know that is a bit sarcastic but I really don't wish to become a bear turd anytime soon and I would not want that to happen to anybody else either. Penetration and weight retention are what made partitions, a-frames, X's, solids etc., famous. I really doubt there are many guides, PH's or bullet companies that would endorse a hollowpoint/frangible for large or dangerous game. BTW. X-bullets always leave a small exit hole. It is what they do between the holes that is important, as you can see in this video. [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL-liPFY5-I"]YouTube - Triple-Shock X-Bullet[/URL] I'm not trying to offend anybody, but I have to honestly say that using frangibles on anything larger than Alabama sized deer is unethical. Using them on dangerous game is just pure nuts. 2 weeks ago, Wife, 85gr. TSX. antelope shot in shoulder quartering away. Shoulder bone and joint shattered. bullet exited neck behind ear. lope dropped like rock. Ruark rolls in grave. Happy hunting [/QUOTE]
