[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 3051099, member: 117774"] A few years back I was talking to a range rat that was a superb shooter judging from his targets and equipment. But he had just lost his second Colorado bull - both due to lack of bullet performance on game. He refused to switch from the target bullets he was using because of 1/4" groups it was producing at 100 yds. He said both bulls were struck at 600+ yds mid body in the crease behind the shoulder. Both guides confirmed the hits with spotting scopes. I have had two premium hunting bullets from a well known maker come apart like a grenade. 3 to 5 grain fragments were found throughout the body. Fortunately both penetrated just enough to drop both animals on the spot. After the second one happened with the same bullet, a call to the customer service dept of that bullet maker confirmed an issue with that lot number. Of course they offered to replace all that I had left, but I used up the 15 or 20 left in the box for practice. [/QUOTE]
