[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 331565, member: 2736"] This has been an informative post but I think everyone lost site of it's purpose and I think what BUD was trying to show was that even a good bullet will not perform if improperly used.(To far,to slow,wrong game,wrong caliber,ETC) Correct me if I am wrong BUD. There are bullets that are designed "NOT" to expand because on large dangerous game the intent is to penetrate deep into the body of a very tough animal intent on ruining your hole day. On thin skinned game there are bullets designed to expand and expend as much energy as possible and still penetrate deep enough to damage the internal organs. Bullets for varmints are normally designed to expand very rapidly because the game is small and the energy needs to be transferred in a short distance. Target bullets have no design efforts for expansion and there for are not as predictable if used for anything other than shooting paper. Any style/type of bullet will kill if placed in the right place but the recovery may be diffacult or impossible . One can adapt to a particular bullet by shot placement but a hunter does not always have the perfect set of circumstances and then a decision has to be made to take the shot or not. I have had bullet failures even though shot placement was good and this can happen from time to time but if the wrong bullet is used it will happen more frequently. As to the arrow issue : It is unlawful to use a field tip/point for the harvest of game animals because of the wound potential with almost no visible blood trail. A broad head of a designated size by the state or county must be used, So it becomes a personal choice whether or not to reduce the distance a little or use a target bullet and increase the distance . I chose to use a bullet that is designed for that type of shooting/ hunting. The debate rages on................ J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
