[QUOTE="WV Sendero, post: 737092, member: 29930"] The most important thing for me would obviously be a clean, quick kill but I still pick bullets that react differently based on what I'm hunting (which I know most everyone here does). If I am going to hunt something small and light bodied like whitetails I prefer that the bullet dumps all the energy in the deer beacsue I don't feel that alot of penetration or an exit is necessary since it doesn't take much of a bullet to reach the vitals and do it's job in this case. If I were going after elk, moose, or big bears I would go with a bullet that I expect pass throughs with because most likely it will make two holes and if it doesn't I can still be confident the bullet penetrated far enough to get in the vitals. I would prefer a pass through on a large animal beacuse they are more likely to run after the shot than a deer sized animal would be so I would rather them bleed from two holes instead of one.
