[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2568207, member: 1951"] Thanks [USER=106845]@Petey308[/USER] …..good post. I see you like the explosive performance. I too think it is great when it hits a vital and throws lead into other vitals as you described. Do you consider the tumbling that match bullets do at low velocity good performance? I agree with your fundamental statement that reviewing bullet performance on dead game should be viewed as good. I just wonder what happens when it hits a shoulder or rib and deflects away from the vitals. This won’t happen broadside, but sometimes when steeply quartering. This is the main thing that has refocused my mind on the concept of reliable expansion with an exit hole. Like an idiot, I tried a Texas heart shot on a deer…..the bullet blew up on a hip bone. Needless to say it was not fatal. Fortunately, my second shot was. I believe a mono would have lost a petal and killed it dead right there. [/QUOTE]
