[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2351397, member: 42157"] Sucks for sure and how we learn. The internet information has compounded the information confusion for me. I have had similar experiences over my hunting life with different bullets to different cartridges. I have tried and will try new things based on what others tell me and some on my own information. Biggest bullet failures for me. I had160gr Speer Grand Slams at 3300fps pencil three bulls on perfect broadside shots 150-300yds. They all took multiple rounds to kill. The one took 4 rounds until gun was empty and finally fell over and flopped a little before dying. Same exact thing with 190 VLD Hunting at 3400fps, and exact opposite on game performance and multiple rounds to kill all of them. Only one was broadside the closest and the other two quartering away 100, 150, and 440 yards. I have not had any other bullet fail so miserably on those two types/weights. I have many other bullets from green box Core Lokt, to Mono's at pretty much same shot distances, angles, etc.. For me....those two bullets and even some similar to me are not going to be used or suggested by me. [/QUOTE]
