[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 74835, member: 4491"] the debate between bullets that stay together and come apart can be decided by the size of the animal.any bullet maker will tell you that above 300 lbs you need a stay together type bullet.i realize hunting at long range is a different thing,but as far as more energy being expended on the animal when the bullet doesn't exit,it's been proven wrong.in fact bullets that mushroom don't necessarily make a larger wound channel.case in point,check out what an animal does when it gets hit by a non mushrooming 40 gr SOLID shot out of a 220 swift.the bullet just zips right through the animal.using the logic of the "stay inside the animal crowd",the animal should just walk away because hardly any energy should have been expended.quite the opposite is true.i've talked to people that have shot hundreds of animal up to the 300 lb size with this combo, and some much larger, and the results are almost always the same.when the bullet hits almost ANY part of the front half,the animal is instantly on the ground.what would be nice is if you could ask 100 outfitters this question and see what they say.i'll bet 95% would want an exit hole.
