[QUOTE="Shooter264, post: 511393, member: 23746"] Broz. You said it absolutely perfect. I have seen people make marginal hits on animals with "bonded" type bullets as well as VLD's. In my experience, I have repeatedly seen more animals successfully recovered with the VLD bullets on marginal hits as I have the "bonded". I do not buy into nor will I ever of the stories of " I shot the elk at 100 yards and hit him in the shoulder with my super wizz bang and the Darn VLD just blew up on his shoulder and he ran off to never be seen again". That is hogwash. People are 100% correct on the bullet debates. Unless we have seen it all, who's to say who's right. It is always interesting to hear the stories about how a AB or Barnes penetrated 3 california redwood trees, 2 big granite boulders, and then made a complete pass through on a 17 foot wide Wapiti!! And those darn VLD bullets just blow up on the shoulders of field mice!!! That was meant to be a bit of humor but there are several people that I am sure will not see it that way!! At the end of the day, shoot what you shoot well. After all who would have ever thunk that more polar bears have been killed with a 220 swift then the big magnums. [/QUOTE]
