All I know is that this hunk of metal went _smash_ and the deer went _flop_... boolit manufactures would tell you that is boolit failure, I say its called performance. bullets that do that leave a lot of damage, but now people want them to hold together and retain all its weight, that might be good fo hippo, but on a lil ol deer give me smash anyday.

Good as in I was not being facetious. My previous post that said "World of difference there" was referring to you saying that you use PSP and not PP. The bullet you show in your last photo looks like it performed as it should have. Good stuff.

Just out of curiosity, how far away was the deer that you dropped with that bullet?

Thanks I would show him the bullet, but it didn't stop on a quartered Oryx imagine that you can see entrance and exit thru off shoulder. Damn guess that is bullet failure

Had three bullet failures with game kings in 243 and 270. I will not use any cup and core bullet in .27 or under...unless its for ultra long range.
My 257 shoots 115 VLD's under .5 @100 but is till won't use use them on game.
cup and core bullets in small calibers IMO are only good for neck shots...where explosive is good

The exit hole was larger and I only know the guys at the camp were very impressed with wound channel and you can see the blood pouring out the exit in the video, and that's just a little ole 120gr. These bullets are right up your alley vg as much as you like velocity!
