[QUOTE="Broz, post: 846914, member: 7503"] I agree totally. Good info indeed, all bullets work, some work better than others for certain criteria. I always said know how [B]your[/B] bullet works[B] best[/B] and use that to your advantage. None work "best" at all distances. It is not possible as far as I am concerned. The heavies have bailed me out more than once. Reading the 215 thread from last year will reveal at least 2 instances I can think where I showed less than perfect placement. (too far back) But neither elk got up or walked away. This is where the heavies fragmenting off and still have enough for penetration paided off for me. We got 26" of penetration and that was through the far shoulder of the Bull at 200 yards. I was totally impressed with that. While skinning I was able to insert my 1" wide carpenter tape all the way through the wound channel to what was left of the bullet and a small pile of fragments under the far side hide. I sure wish I had that one on video. It was steep, foggy as heck, snow on the ground, and he came sliding towards us like a toboggan. Jeff [/QUOTE]
