[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 2020911, member: 101145"] I have ALWAYS had SPECTACULAR success with the SGK projo's, be they 165 or 180 grain pellets in my .308, .30-06 and .300 Win Mag, with the 180 grains used almost exclusively in the -06 and Win Mag. Most animals were DRT and none traveled more than 10 to 20 yards. Some say the exposed lead tip gets melted off due to friction heat during travel but I say BULLOCK'S!! NONE of the animals I've taken would agree and several were well beyond 600 yards. So do the tipped bullets have a higher BC? Probably. But do the tipped bullets make a tremendous difference when it comes down to reasonable shooting distances? I doubt it. What I WILL admit to is (under heavy recoil) the lead tipped projo's can be deformed somewhat but as I mentioned above, that minor amount of disfigurement has NEVER caused a miss at long range or failed to expand upon impact, either. Some will say the monolithic bullets tend to "cut" more vitals causing more disruption and a quicker or cleaner death and go on to say that a lead based bullet that mushrooms merely pushes aside flesh. Again, I say BULLOCK'S to that (actually more like BS, but that's another story) and there are untold THOUSANDS of game animals that have succumbed to lead based rounds irrespective if flesh and vitals are "pushed aside" as opposed to "cleanly cut" by a monolithic projo. If you live in some Third World State (Kommiefornication comes to mind) where any lead based round is forbidden, then your choice(s) are limited. But for the average hunter shooting out to even distant targets, lead tipped rounds are still formidable and shouldn't me discarded because the Johnny Come Lately copper monolithic doodads claim they are the be all, end all. Just my $0.02 and over 50 years of experience on the subject, but what do I know, right? [/QUOTE]
