[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2414479, member: 6078"] This type of argument is called "the Strawman". Its when someone uses an argument that has no actual bearing on the subject to essentially spook or shame the opposition away from their stance by causing.them to question their logic. It's a thing people do when they dont have a valid counterpoint or arent able to articulate it, but are too proud to concede. Dont be that guy. No one in this thread, or on this forum, is gonna use an FMJ bullet on big game. The terminal effects of a solid flat bullet like the tough cast lead bullets in my profile pic are nothing like fmj. A 1/2" flat bullet and a 1/2" mushroomed bullet do basically the same thing. The big bore just does it for longer, so on big animals it continues on destroying flesh well past the point most expanded smaller caliber bullets have stopped, which may or may not be important. Like an F4 tornado stomping it's way across Oklahoma compared to an F2 just hitting the city. Both are destructive, but one does it all day long. The expanding bullet can do its damage way farther though, so like everything else, "it depends" what you're doing and where. Mule deer at 800 yards? Expanding bullets Obviously. Griz at 20? Or 2?!? I want the F4 tornado :D [/QUOTE]
