[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1968189, member: 112246"] Wow there is a lot to unravel here but I’ll only comment on the copper pills that you loathe. I’m not sure Y. if your hitting critters at over 3000 FPS with monos and being dissatisfied, then your not understanding wounds and ballistics well despite looking at some innerds. Your copper was flying to fast, they’ll pass through without much expansion. Same holds true for say a traditional Berger, If it’s over 3000fps it wont act as described and designed; it will grenade within 2” of entering an animal and dump it’s energy before they get to the vitals. If you look at LR bullets; their not only designed to have a high BC but also to mushroom at lowered velocity. They too will grenade if too high velocity. Now...I’m certainly not saying a deer of any size can’t be taken with a high or low velocity projectile. I’m saying if you don’t understand how a cartridge is designed to work then you shouldn’t be disappointed at its performance if you don’t get an expectant outcome. Just my 2c [/QUOTE]
