[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 930007, member: 10178"] I have had the same experience as Damascus with match bullets on deer size game. The Berger VLD old match now called their hunting bullet is a different critter though. It usually enters even through a shoulder 2 to 4 inches and explodes but blows pieces and parts out the other side leaving baseball size exit holes on deer. By the way pure lead balls used in muzzle loaders DO EXPAND. A .490 ball will expand to a somewhat flattened disk about double it's size. For deer size game and match bullet accuracy I use Noselr ballistic tips or Sierra game bullets. I did control work on a big farm for 15 years as a control hunter were 100 deer a year had to be taken. I learned a lot about bullet performance on deer. I have used about everything from a 22lr through a 45-70. [/QUOTE]
