[QUOTE="ridge rider, post: 435317, member: 17933"] "Triple shock" What does the term "triple" shock really mean? Is the first shock from the felt recoil from your rifle. Is the second shock from seeing the bullet hit home but the animal runs off. Is the third shock from losing the animal. Or is it that it takes "three shocks" from three bullets to put the animal down. Either one would apply in my opinion.. Sorry but it's lead cored bullets for me. To me a clean kill means an animal is killed as quickly and humanely as possible without having to suffer in pain "waiting" to be put out of its misery. THAT is the most paramount thing to me when I go hunting for a trophy animal. I make sure my bullet/cartridge combination will achieve and exceed that expectation. Meat is of secondary importance to me in my quest for a trophy as in all of the cases I have experienced stag meat is not worth eating especially when it is in full rut as it is full of testosterone and other hormones which make the meat rank to eat. How anyone can convince me that venison is tasty from a rutting stag sure has me wondering whether that person has in fact ever taken a stag and tried eating that meat.. Even my dog won't touch the meat from a rutting stag. I only shoot three quarter grown does for meat and the stags for the trophy. In both applications I use lead bullets for as near "an instant kill" as possible. [/QUOTE]
