[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1734325, member: 72601"] Heavy for caliber with some fragmentation and about 25-50% weight retention I've found is about ideal for deer and bear. My reasoning for this is more energy dump in the animal and fragmentation leads to not only a good permanent wound cavity carries through with the 25-50% weight retention, but also the temporary wound cavities caused by the fragmentation. I've seen fragmentation save our butts before on a marginal hit that where other wise a bullet that holds all its weight would never had hit the vitals. Just what I've found works for me. This is a pretty touchy subject especially for the crowd that thinks match bullets on game is bad ju-ju [/QUOTE]
