[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 853156, member: 41442"] you guys think your disagreeing with me but your not. SHot placent is paramount. thats a given whether it be for quick kills or lack of meat damage. Bullet performance is second and velocity is a major factor. What works for a a bullet, load and caliber for a quick kill at 200 yards may fail miserably at 500. My point in this post was mostly that some guys think barnes bullets are the greatest thing since smokeless powder. My point is they may be great but its a very narrow margin of conditions that there great in. LIke shooting game larger then you should be looking at with a smaller caliber, Holding together at 50 yards out of a 7stw, or having enough penetration to take what would normal be a @@@@ shot. Many here do believe that a cup and core bullet is more sutible to deer hunting covering the most possible senerios best. A cup and core bullet will still give enough penetration to kill at close range and enough expansion to kill at longer ranges without having to hit bone. Like most said meat loss isnt a much of a consideration for chosing a bullet because bullet placement is what determines that. Seems like we agree on more then you think. [/QUOTE]
