[QUOTE="HammerB1, post: 1194735, member: 8224"] First, I want to give Roy a BIG thank you for spending time with our bullets. What he has found is what we have experienced also. The variations in copper make all the difference in what happens upon impact. The copper he tested in the 375 is a more brittle copper so it peels to the boattail which creates a big mess inside of an animal. As Steve said, this is not what we prefer but I know some of you guys want this kind of performance. I know my son shot a whitetail with these and we had to throw away the off shoulder, BUT it did not take a step. What we prefer is a bullet that will stay together from drill depth after is loses its nose within a couple inches of penetration. These bullets will have good weight retention and will not leave such a mess inside an animal, also will almost always pass through. Wound channel will be big which creates a clean kill also and you still have meat left. So please chime in and let us know what you prefer. Thanks Brian [/QUOTE]
