[QUOTE="CrankyYankee, post: 2251442, member: 90145"] I'm gonna ponder on this a little before I go all FGO, but I will say that your 2nd to last sentence said it best. When I choose the game I want to hunt, I then choose the bullet I want for the job. Then comes the caliber/cartridge to deliver the bullet at the speed range I want for the distance range I want. Then the gun, glass...etc. IMHO, shot placement is most important, and that is based upon the bullet. My shot placement when using the Hornady Amax is different than the Barnes TTSX. To be less formulatic, I look at it this way..... You can turn off the light switch (CNS), drop pressure (heart/lungs), or break the axle (take out shoulders ro prevent getaway, but may require follow up shots). Your bullets mentioned above will do it differently. I'm still searching for the perfect do-all bullet, but I don't think it will exist any time soon. Terminal ballistics is not an exact science.
