[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 929992, member: 29281"] Your buddy is dropping deer like sacks of potatos (yes, remember Dan Quale; it's potatos not potatoes)? That should be answer enough for you. Of course, your buddy must be hitting the deer right as well. There are certain myths among different factions like the bullet was going so fast it didn't have time to do any damage. The bullet didn't expand so it didn't didn't do much damage. The bullet didn't exit so there was no blood trail which is supposed to be bad. The bullet has to be expensive if you respect the animal. U.S. Army snipers shoot Sierra Match Kings because they would rather wound than kill. Keep in mind that bullets meant for the toughest animals going are not supposed to expand. Primitive weapon hunters have also been known to shood round lead balls that don't expand at all. Also keep in mind that some bullets were marketed that were supposed to disintegrate upon entering the animal. If a bullet makes a hole in a vital part of an animal it's going to do damage no matter how fast or how slow it's going. If a bullet disintegrates in a vital part of an animal, it will do more damage to said vital part than if it stayed together or made a perfect mushroom. Now if the bullet disintegrates before it penetrates to a vital part; that is a problem and one not likely to occur with a match bullet. Too much is made of the premium bullet crap. [/QUOTE]
