[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1541723, member: 13632"] It seems there are a lot of guys wanting the simple answer, an equation that they can plug in their data and get an answer to terminal performance. With so many choices these days and so many strong opinions it can be hard to sort out and the reality is you have to make a decision for yourself based on opening up animals you put bullet in. You can't get the best information for your hunting with clean hands and not getting arm pit deep in animals. Each bullet construction performs differently and can be put into a representative group. I ran Barnes like it was a religion, you would be dead to me if you didn't run them but then I was having to put them in a possition that was not their strength and the results made me look, switched to Accubonds again I put them in a possition where they weren't their stongest and I moved on. How heavy for cal Berger type bullets work I found to be ideal for ME and the shots I take, the issues I had with Monos and Bonded bullets were a thing if the past and everytime I pulled the trigger it was just death and I got the terminal performance that allows me to achieve the quick, one shot clean kill I insist on having. If I started having troubles with a Berger I'd switch in a heart beat because it's about delivering the most lethal package I can with precision inside the condition and range I'm taking an animal. It's a real struggle to even accurately describes what were looking at, was it SD, was it retained weight or momentum, was energy or BC a factor, how all this works with construction and how do they all work together. I think most of use know what we want when we see it and then try to figure out how to translate that into something we can quantify. Not sure it's possible! [/QUOTE]
