[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1759052, member: 75451"] I cannot argue your point. I’ve been shooting game and handloading for 53 or 54 years. I did a lot of experimenting when younger. As stated before, I had some disappointments and some utter failures. In 1993,I found a bullet that performed to my expectations/requirements and cannot see any reason for change. Though, have briefly considered, trying the Hammer Bullets! My desires of a bullet performance varies greatly from many of the shooters here. I will not shoot a big game animal at long distances.....greater than 600 yards. And, consequently, do not need a bullet that will expand at very long distances with it’s diminished velocity. I will however, shoot an occasionally do, take very close shots on animals at close range (occasionally under 25 yards). I’ve experienced thin jacketed, high BC bullets fail at close range.....causing me to loose my first elk. Loosing that elk, was something I’ll not get over. So, I want a bullet that will perform, virtually every time at near point blank range and at extreme angles. Not that this plays into the equation, as I was using mono bullets prior to changing hunt locations.....but, I now hunt in an area of high grizzly concentrations. IF, and a very low probability, I have an encounter.....I want a bullet that “will” give complete penetration at “point blank” distances! While I have picked on you a bit, I do have one serious question. You mentioned having penetration failures with a .30 caliber magnum rifle. What weight bullet were you using and at what approximate range! Thanks, I will now return you to your “regular scheduled programming”! :) I hope that you continue to have nothing but success with your chosen bullets....what ever they may be! memtb [/QUOTE]
