[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1137666, member: 85389"] brentc, Actually our target bullet have thicker jackets as do the OTM bullets. Target because they usually get pushed faster and are most likely to be fired through a really hot barrel during string fire to combat bullet failure. The OTM because they are designed for military use and the Jag corp gets their panties in a wad over the words "hollow point". There are cases where out target bullets have been used on game (Broz is a great example of this with his success with the 215 Match Target Hybrid on elk, deer , ETC) but we do not recommend they be used on game due to their making a smaller wound channel and less destruction of the vitals than our VLD or CLASSIC HUNTER bullets. That all being said. You've read the results above and have been given some guidance in bullet placement.
