[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1987278, member: 29370"] Gills not true - at longer distances the traditional bullet needs more impact pressure to perform and the Match bullets construction allows slower velocities ie longer distances meaning less energy at the target to expand and in the case of the ELDM it will punch a large hole going in and violently fragment inside ....dumping all the energy inside the animal. I would never consider taking animals at these ranges with a controlled expansion bullet all you would get is mediocre result at best and dismal at worst. but I will say it again .... we are in long range forum talking about long range kills. So why do some insist on saying the contrary.... "well if you miss at that range or a lot can go wrong etc." If you are a 300 yd or less shooter great but is there not another forum for you to find allies that will agree with you. I do not go over to 24 hr camp fire and try disproving the guys with 30-30's and 35 Whelens.... so I am always curious why guys come here and spend all their time telling me I am wrong but have zero knowledge of my background or how much I shoot etc and how many animals I have killed Humanely at distances they seem to think impossible and cover their *** by saying we owe it to the animal ..... I am confident that my long range "one shot" kills are over for the animal much quicker than many 150 yard kills with multiple shots on the animal by many of the so called controlled expansion bullets...
