[QUOTE="Phil Rizzo, post: 3050476, member: 126313"] Thank you for the information. You have legions of experience to speak from. One thing is for **** certain, you don’t hear much about bullet failures or lackluster performance from anyone about any kind or design. I’ll wager they occur more often from a lack of penetration, due to angles, accidental heavy bone encounters or close range impacts at higher velocity. Some people act like they don’t ever have a shot under 600yds😆, that’s about the distance some of these thin-skinned B.C. missles probably begin to exhibit some resemblance of dual purpose performance. It doesn’t hurt to bump up to large for caliber for extra mass, that is for sure. An expanding bullet with a tough base and decent BC, and very good accuracy will be my choice the majority of the time until I gain more confidence in these jacketed explosives. Nosler AB and BT hunting check my boxes, and that’s easy to say after decades of results. The 135 LRHT,153.5 LRHT, 180 HT and 190LRHT are going to get their chance moving forward on deer. And I WILL share subpar information in detail if Murphy decides to tag along. Personally I’d go up in the 200’s for Elk sized animals or larger, I like to tilt the odds if there is an opportunity.
