[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2198022, member: 115819"] I know this is an old thread but I've been thinking about trying these in 7mm, probably around 2950-3050. They are lighter than my ideal but I really like the concept. Do either of you think these are okay for shoulder shots or are they chest only on heavier game (mulies/Elk)? I don't want to have to pass up an anchoring shot because of shallow blow-up. CMP the bear and deer chest shots are impressive but I can't quite picture the distance the initial "pop" covered. In some of the promo stuff it looks like it starts a little too early, but I know gel is not the same as bone and meat. Heck of a bear, man. iclick if you put price aside do you think the Raptors are any better in this regard or am I barking up the wrong tree? I don't need to shoot lead free but I think people trying to make humane, practical copper bullets need to be cheered on. I live near the Barnes Icepick company plant and I just don't like what I hear. Also, I don't think one company should dominate that market especially if they're not that innovative. [/QUOTE]
