[QUOTE="William W., post: 2058552, member: 86944"] Well, unless the bullet manufacturers just want to sell more bullets, they would certainly have far more “real world” experience than the collective experience of those in this group put together. Regardless of bullet, a heart shot with virtually any bullet will kill; I believe that Capstick referenced a native’s heart shot of an elephant with a 22. However, when the shot placement is not perfect, it would seem that the proven expansion performance built into a bona-fide hunting bullet would make the difference between a kill and a lost, wounded animal. Ego-centric confidence in making great shots is a poor second to the suffering of a wounded animal. Even great hunting bullets have issues. I am just now replacing 160 Accubonds, driven at 3000fps (muzzle) from a 7mm with Berger 180 hunting bullets when the heart of a close-range deer was holed and not shredded like what happened with a 175 Accubond from a 308 at 2600fps (muzzle).
