[QUOTE="JemezDave, post: 1767117, member: 108070"] I'd bet you'd change your tune if you were hunting dangerous game. What about that twig you didn't see or had to shoot thru, and now the bullet came apart prematurely. Everything always goes perfect right-no, it doesn't. What about raking shots? Lots of reasons to not use these bullets. The animal is not always going to stand there broadside clear of the brush and say "Ok now you can shoot me". What about that heavy bone you didn't intend to hit. "No problem, I'll just shoot another elk tomorrow". Your limited experience trumps the continual threads that keep coming on here year after year saying, "gee, I lost my elk..." or "not an optimal shot", "bad angle", "didn't mean to hit the bone", "dang wind gust..", "doggone branch, didn't see it". You get my point, the bullets are fragile. If bad things happen, your chances of leaving a dead elk on the mountain are increased. Sure, they kill, and sure, the same crap can happen with any bullet but... they will happen less with a good hunting bullet, and that is a fact. [/QUOTE]
