[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 3102014, member: 4191"] Hahaha... With respect to terminal performance, I tend to agree. Primary difference I see is the initial violent shrapnelling of match style bullets (frangible due to their paper thin jackets). The nose of match bullets literally explode at high impact velocities, like varmint bullets. To compensate for this immediate loss of bullet weight, the tactical modification from varmint bullets for use on large game sized animals, is to use longer shanked, heavier-for-caliber match style bullets. The forward nose is gonna be violently blown away at high velocity impacts. So the longer shank tactic is... cross your fingers and hope some of the elongated rear bullet shank remains intact during initial high velocity shrapnelling of the nose. If so, as penetrating bullet velocity slows, the remaining bullet shank retains enough mass to penetrate deeply enough to reach into the vitals of a larger game animals. The negatives from my experiences and perspective? 1) The violent explosive shrapnelling of the nose of the match style bullets causes meat destruction on muscle hits exceeding my tolerance. Apple stroodle. Like prairie dogs blown to smitherines, 2) Lose too much bullet shank during high velocity shrapnelling and risk inadequate penetration on BIG bodied large game & predators, 3 Match-style bullets with their thin jacket extending to the nose tip, leaving only a small or non-existent hollowed hole (AKA Burger) , sometimes fail to expand and shoot through the animal in full-metal-jacket fashion, increasing the odds of nonrecovery. Tipped match style bullets help ensure expansion, IMO. There's no question that advertisement and promotional marketing of products are vital to product sales and success. Which is why it's hard to find a box of anything on the grocery store shelves not including the two words "new" and "improved". [/QUOTE]
