[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2890888, member: 114992"] The “penetrate deeply at angle angle to reach vital organs” is a tough one. If you look at ballistic gel testing, I’ve never seen a bullet with a truly LONG and WIDE wound cavity. Some penetrate a ways before opening up, some open up sooner…but either way the length of that maximum wound cavity is a real limiting factor. It does me no good to shoot a bull or buck quartering away hard, and have the bullet exit the front of the animal but the wound cavity through the vitals is narrow. Experienced this the hard way on a whitetail that gave me a very long tracking job. Let us know when you find the magic bullet; I don’t believe it exists. [/QUOTE]
