[QUOTE="41mag, post: 731008, member: 3804"] Salar600, I appreciate the input, could you elaborate on the internal damage you found when you dressed those animals out? Was there any considerable damage to the lungs,heart, chest cavity, or was the wound track simply a small diameter hole right through everything? I look at a lot of things before I decide that a bullet is going to work for me or not. I am mainly going to use these for feral hog control and they have a pretty thick hide on them which can at times make even a great bullet do not so great things. That said I probably wouldn't hesitate to use them on a good white tail buck either, but usually if I am dropping the hammer on one, it is a good one, and I am not as overly concerned with the added damage as I am with putting it on the ground right where it stands. As such I usually try and put my shot through the shoulder/neck junction where it will take out a lot of their will to move another step. As your probably well aware, this usually results in a lot of internal bone and muscle disruption in the frontal chest area as it is usually a more dense area than simply catching the back side of a shoulder blade and possibly a rib on passage. It's not quite a high shoulder shot like is exemplified by a lot of folks, but it does generally wreck the CNS and most major arterial routes to the brain usually resulting in immediate dysfunction of all forward progress. Anyway thanks again for you input, and hope to hear more. [/QUOTE]
