    Totally agree.

    The exit, no exit thing is quite contentious. Im a bit of a fan of the bullet staying in the animal side of things and dumping all of its energy. Ive mostly done bush hunting and medium weight projectiles at medium velocities have served me very well over the years. Ive had a pretty good run with the 7mm08 with the 140 Sierra hollow points lately. I think Im 15 for 15 or there abouts. But having said that most normal boring out of fashion projectiles have been pretty reliable over the years.
    GWH, Micky Duck and Flyblown like this.
