[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 1761483, member: 29323"] I once shot a javelina with my 10" contender 7mm TCU. The bullet was intended for deer, and at 1800 fps, it did not expand. I learned that you have to match the bullet with the velocity. I switched to Speer 115 gr. hollowpoints, and it drops them in their tracks. With my .270, I never had a bullet failure on deer. When I got a 7mm RM, and started hunting elk, I had to go to premium bullets. Most bullets are designed for deer, because that is what most people hunt. Heavy for caliber bullets work better for larger animals, and almost guarantee an exit wound. [/QUOTE]
