[QUOTE="Broz, post: 961055, member: 7503"] Also, if it is researched as to the actual difference in jacket thickness between bullets labeled "hunting" and "Target" one might be surprised at its slightness. The difference is so small in my opinion it is soon lost or overcome by impact velocity. I believe the ever so slightly "thicker" jackets of the bullets labeled "Target", is a difference that is there to allow less deformation while still in the tube in front of some aggressive twist rates and fast burning powders. A difference most will not even notice and may not fully understand. A difference that will not even be a factor in many rifles. Yet we put so much trust into labeling to make us feel better. A better trust might be found elsewhere involving particular rifle accuracy at distance, impact velocity, and placement to best work with the impact velocity and sectional density. Some might find this shocking, but in todays large magnum hunting rifles with the velocity, along with the actual real world average distance for most kills, the bullets labeled "Target" might just be the best choice for hunting. Especially if one chooses to enter through some bone. This is only my opinion formed after killing many elk, deer and antelope and documenting bullet results and performances in my rifles.
