[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1260653, member: 30902"] "Too Much bullet" is a myth started long ago by people who were having a hard time selling their preferred bullet. Understand you bullet and chosen caliber and then place your shots accordingly. Monometal bullets don't expand violently like many of the lead core bullets so you have to keep that in mind when placing your shot. Don't go for the "behind the shoulder" or "Heart/Lung" shots. If you do you'll punch a small hole through the animal and it will likely run a long ways before expiring. Put it in the head, neck, or straight through both shoulders on the other hand and they go down hard and fast. Hit the spine and it's over before they hit the ground. Too many people complain about "bullet failures" but in truth, in most of those cases the failure was on the part of the shooter who failed when it came to proper placement. I have been rather resistant to coming around to monometals myself for a long time but in the last few years I've had very good performance out of the Hornady GMX and the Peregrine VRG-4 or "Plainsmaster". The more I shoot the latter the more sold on them I become. [/QUOTE]
