[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1903515, member: 104363"] It would be nice if there was a topic section of real world performance, with good photos for LRH bullet performance, success (DRT), or long blood trailing. Where I am from, it's not possible to cull hunt, so you depend on getting 1 or 2 tags for big game if extremely lucky. In the desert southwest, longer ranges are always possible.. Then harvest success on each hunter is around 20-30%. I simply have to follow people I know and trust on this site that are fortunate to have 10X the opportunity, 10X the critters and back it up with photos, distance, speed and a recipe for that load/chambering. If anything, there is a critical balance of one handload, or a 2 way solution in a handload the hunter is willing to use each day in the field for a long range shot, or a short range shot. Hunting at the ranges we have today makes it difficult to choose accuracy and terminal performance and get it right. I have to trust what I see, and read right here. It's almost a "part time Medical Examiner" job to analyze how the bullet performed, other than a nice successful field photo of the hunter and his critter. Now that I'm on this site, I wish I would have had the photos of all my skinned animals to share, "how did this one perform?". Now I will and be open and honest. I have had failure. [/QUOTE]
