[QUOTE="cooperjd, post: 2721861, member: 116132"] Very true. Each type has its pros and cons. Bergers and ballistic tips are great for shredding vitals with the super frangible designs. But personally not my cup of tea in case the presented shot is heavily quartering. Barnes are great for penetration but obviously a smaller wound channel. Bonded bullets are in between. I think the hammers do a great job of giving you a lot of penetration while also expanding the wound channel a bit with the petals. With the added bonus of keeping lead bits out of the meat. There is no “best” unless you can control every single shot situation and pick the bullet style that you prefer best. For me i like barnes or bonded bullets like scirocco. Hammers give me most of that weight retention with the added benefit of the petals so for now theyre going to be my go-to all around hunting bullet. Not to mention theyre fast, easy to load for and accurate as hell [/QUOTE]
