[QUOTE="jasonprox700, post: 1738133, member: 7328"] Most of the “bullet” failure stories I’m seeing posted here are nearly identical. *Impact velocity at the top end of the bullet threshold The harder a bullet is pushed, the faster it will open. So if it’s “maxed out” on velocity (or slightly over), it’ll run a pretty good chance of failure (disintegration). Switch to a heavier bullet to slow them down, back off on the velocity, or switch to a monolithic (and then start a thread about them penciling thru a long range). The perfect bullet does not exist that will cover every scenario. Think of bullets with a jack of all trades mentality. I personally have had fantastic luck with AB’s in three different calibers. I went away from Gamekings and SST’s for their explosive results. The AB’s have held together and given me what I want. I’m not doubting failures, because every bullet isn’t perfect, but you need to know the limitations of the bullet. List the parameters you are looking for (species, velocity, distance), and try to find a bullet that falls into those parameters. [/QUOTE]
