[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2832963, member: 75451"] Personally, I prefer a wide metplat, hard cast (15+ hardness), in a moderately heavy for caliber bullet weight. Examples: 40 cal. - 200+ grains, 44 (0.429”) - 280+ grains, 45 (0.452”) - 360+ grains. JMO That said, I only carry a handgun when handgun hunting! If rifle hunting, the rifle is in my hands…..not on my shoulder! If I’m spending nights in a tent, in bear country…..I “may” have a handgun in the tent with me (as the rifle in a small tent are a bit of a handicap to quickly put into service). If tent camping and I’m rifle hunting…..the handgun remains in camp! I tried carrying both …….when I was younger, tougher, and less experienced! When you start combining the weights of a day pack of essential, binoculars, range finder, your scoped rifle, ect……..adding the weight of a handgun is tiring, impractical, and essentially - unnecessary ! JMO …..again! memtb [/QUOTE]
