[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1540350, member: 10755"] I’m not gonna reply with a long winded answer, but this is the gist of it in my eyes. I like bullets that go in and make a 1 caliber hole, and come out out just a little larger. A bullet that keeps the expanded jacket close to the shank, imparts a large permanent cavity roughly in the middle of it’s penetration, then it shrinks some before exiting. (The wound channel shrinks, if you cut it perpendicular to the travel, it resembles a trumpet that tapers off to the exit.) A bullet that opens wide, often imparts a very wide permanent cavity early in the penetration and punches a large exit wound, such as Berger’s when the velocity is about right. This is not to be confused with bullets that fail to hold together. They tend to make a remendously large wound on entry and often fail to penetrate more than a couple inches at best. Use the correct bullet and you will have many kills and no losses. Cheers. P.S. Sorry for the long winded post.:D [/QUOTE]
