[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1226249, member: 7999"] What you are experiencing is the same thing that drove me to mono bullets and then to finally making them. It violated me to make a good broad side shot behind the shoulder and loose the on side shoulder to blood shot. I like to pull the trigger, but I intend to eat the meat. It is not ok with me to waste the animal. It is what it is. Soft lead core bullets make a mess. They are not designed for saving meat. Head and neck shots are low % shots and can result in a lost animal. I have seen this go wrong too many times and will never take that shot. Through the pump house is where it goes. The only time I will take a shoulder is on a quartering shot. With our Hammer Bullets if a shoulder has to be hit, usually very little meat is lost. Damage to vital organs is heavy. Usually resulting in very little distance after the shot. With the ease of loading the Hammer Bullets you should have not trouble getting ready for your trip and having confidence in your rifle bullet combo. Let me know how we can help. Steve [/QUOTE]
