[QUOTE="Jmatt, post: 2945266, member: 108305"] If there's one thing I've learned in the years that I've been reading this forum, it's that there is no one bullet. Each bullet seems to be designed to give optimal terminal performance within a given velocity range. Some have wider effective ranges, some narrower. Some are meant to penetrate, and some are meant to expand, and some do a little or a lot of both. I hunted with traditional archery equipment for the first twenty years that I hunted so even with a gun I'm still looking to center punch both lungs. So for me, penetration really isn't very important. It's just not that much to ask any bullet to travel through skin, a rib, two lungs, another rib, and skin. I just need my bullet to expand upon initial resistance. Then again, I never walk up to my deer and say, "Well, it must've entered the sphincter and exited the right nostril!" Only the OP knows how he hunts, and therefore what bullet will work best for him. [/QUOTE]
