[QUOTE="Parkerized, post: 2337176, member: 105793"] Though I hesitate to tell anyone what and how to hunt, with the tremendous selection of quality hunting bullets available today it seems silly to willingly use "target" bullets to shoot big game. Clearly, they are not designed for it. Having shot thousands in NRA high power competition I can attest to their accuracy and many a prairie dog has fallen to 75gr Hornady match bullets out to truly long ranges. However, I also lost a very nice Kudu in E. Africa due to a poor shot at 200yds with a very accurate 160g Accubond from a 280AI I believe if I had used my 160g Nosler partition my ill-advised sternum shot would have made this solid hit successful. An eland at 125 yards rolled right over from a single 250g partition from my .358 Norma Magnum. This 1800# animal was running away, the bullet entering just at the rear hip and found in the skin behind shoulder opposite side. Many deer are killed every year with primitive 12ga. slugs and bow and arrow while millions are killed with centerfire .22's in states where such are legal. All this proves that making "bullet laws" is a silly practice at best and unenforceable at any rate. Game laws that allow for the confiscation of personal property without due process are clearly unconstitutional and those who sight them, or endorse them are neither good sportsmen nor particularly bright. There is a place for copper bullets but with Kalifornia making them mandatory one has to hesitate since all "gun" laws in Kalifornia are designed to hinder, hamper and unquestionably end all hunting and gun ownership by constant harassment, misinformation and disingenuous "education" of the otherwise rational outdoorsman. There is nothing a copper bullet can do that the right lead/copper bullet can't do better. [/QUOTE]
