[QUOTE="68w, post: 1345280, member: 97869"] Speer, Sierra, and Hornady all make spbt rounds that hunters seem to love with reasonable BC. 80 gr Speer spbt is what I used. I noticed the heart was in multiple pieces, shot placement put the round just low of center of the heart. Lungs however we're quite literally untouched and very much intact. That concerned me a bit as I thought the fragmentation would be a bit more. Definitely a fatal shot, but maybe a little more dramatic fragmentation would've helped. I don't want lead all over the place, and I do like the full penetration, but a little frag effect would be nice. Sounds like maybe Hornady would be a little closer to what I'm after. [/QUOTE]
