Gday
Man I can see why this young fella is camera shy
We need to give him a little slack as he's just learning the art of putting it all together & man I wish he had of taken more photos & delved a little deeper in those lungs but such is life & we have what we have
I actually think when you look @ the entry it's a bit lower than some think ( myself included @ first ) as you can see ea side of on leg just & direction of hair gives me that impression also look @ lung makeup looks like a lot of scar tissue to me but I will confirm as soon as I get hold of him but he just started back @ work & maybe untouchable for 6 weeks
he works 6 on 6 off& phone reception sucks sometimes where he works
Moving on
muddy oh I'd love to say what I really think
This is a better approach I think
@elkfire I'd love to see a corelox act like a frangible so please show actual evidence
To be fair I'll let you know a couple of my cards I've taken the 150 gr in question to impacts of just shy of 3500impact & also on a few big critters some way bigger than this stag easily 3 times along with a lot of goats & never have I seen a corelox act like a frangible but if you say loosing it's core that's a frangible well we have different opinions on what a frangible does so all cool
Looking forward to your reply with pictures hopefully as they are always the best fact finders imo
The guys on here who have used them a little or lot you can tell they have watched the wounds or preformance @ a minimum as from their description & I can't quote everyone you know who you are but the best was Bob as he has put up what these bullets on the whole do & don't do well if I'm interpreting correctly
Although they penertrate a fair bit it's when we delve a little deeper into that wound channel you see why they were slow killers now & then ( it's here I look @ & marvel @ the ability of a few brands of today to take the once common wound channel & push it to a new level )
I found the 150 fairly good on critters to around 180/200 lbs on the whole across multiple impacts & resistance but today we are blessed to have far better pills available
On pill selection no frangible can be relied upon to give consistent results on this impact once again look @ entry side as you need to put these through less resistance to get consistent results
Energy dump pills are just that in my opinion a dump & yes they will work most of the time but your number will get called out in that bingo raffle eventuality if not you your either a great shot , lucky or haven't shot enough critters yet especially under less than ideal circumstances
A exit on a broadside or slight broadside is the most consistent pill across all the angles we will encounter in hunting as a whole as hunters well from my observations but I'll say if you can't dispute when a frangible works well it's very good it's the other side that's gives us that P's saying on preformance
Here's a thought for you lot to ponder on this scenario on needing a heavy to give better results here yes I agree on the whole but I'll also say don't dismiss a lighter pill to do a even better job than your heavy
I'm off testing pills today / tomorrow & it's for all you longrange low impact freaks
So catch you lot in a couple days
Cheers
