[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 2302394, member: 56740"] We all know that shot placement is the supreme priority...But the thing I would add here is that it is RARE that we get that "perfect shot" placement. - so I prefer a bigger, heavier bullet - vs "lightning fast" smaller lighter. I want ALL of the energy delivered INTO the carcass for the most shock possible. Not a bullet that passes thru the the body of an animal. I know the arguments....just my experience here - they drop faster, take fewer steps - when the shot placement is reasonably good - and the bullet expands INSIDE the body - rather than passing thru. FWIW...Nosler Partitions are my go-to. Accubonds are also good - and there are others. What works for YOU - gives you confidence. Find it, and stick with it. ( .300 WM, 180gr. Partitions...) [/QUOTE]
