[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2819882, member: 5352"] Not sure if you can’t read but the conclusion is in the study where they said caliber did not matter. Bullet construction was most important. These are the types of studies needed for people to make sounds decisions on science not folks coming from righteous positions (ie save the birds but who cares about the deer) nor fan-boying for their favorite I am trying hammer bullets but I also test a lot of bullets on game (hogs mostly) and will come to my own conclusions. However that is not scientific nor is the methods these types of videos use to show mono bullets are as effective as lead. Most of them show a guy shooting into water and collecting lead fragments then looking at the recovered bullet and declaring the mono bullet better because it penetrates more. That is not science and tells you nothing about effectiveness on game. You could use the same criteria and show an arrow is just as good for hunting with no context so why do we need bullets at all. So don’t deny the science because you fear it is a gun or hunting grab. But also dont deny the lack of science because it benefits your favorite whatever. Lou [/QUOTE]
