[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1521048, member: 10178"] People's take on bullets. LOL One fellow says a bullet is no good because it "blew up" and did not exit. The next fellow says a bullet is no good because it did not blow up but penetrated completely through the game. Another complains that this bullet destroys too much meat when they shoot it through the shoulders sending bone fragments and bullet fragments flying. An other says that I only use cast bullets so I can eat right up to the bullet hole. From this ONE EXAMPLE pictured seems to me that the bullet did exactly what Sierra says it is to do. It arrived on target exhibited controlled expansion putting a killing wound through the heart and completely through a big animal. The elk was dead but it did not know it yet so there was really no need to shoot it in the head for the sake of "killing" it but maybe to just keep it from crawling or wobbling a few more yards. I have also read of people saying that the Nosler Accubond is no good because "it does not expand" but just punches through leaving a "small" exit hole. Seems to me that they need to brush up on bonded bullet information. They don't blow up and leave fragments and blow huge exits like Berger VLDs because they are not supposed to. They are to expand and hold together and penetrate. Measure a fully expanded bullet and see that it will mostly be two times it's original diameter. That is the way they are designed to work.
