[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 2988687, member: 29323"] I never liked the idea of meat in water. I use frozen milk jugs to keep my meat cold. On a lot of hunts, I can take the jugs out at night and refreeze them. I wish I'd read this forum 30 years ago. I practiced with inexpensive 162 gr. Amax bullets and hunted with expensive 160 gr. Barnes X. In 50 years of hunting, I'm not sure I can claim bullet failure was the cause of any animal not being recovered. I did shoot a javelina with a 7mm TCU out of a 10" barrel and the rifle bullet penciled through. I had to shoot that one twice. I use varmit bullets now in my TCU. I read an article in Shooting Times decades ago about the difference in energy a high B.C. makes. It made me a believer in heavier streamlined bullets. I use 7mm 168 gr. Berger VLDs now because they were inexpensive at the time, accurate, and they have worked for everything I've shot from javelina to elk. [/QUOTE]
