    I used factory 225 grain Hornady cartridges initially, which had a lot of speed. It spoiled the meat a lot. He had to give shots in the head or behind the paddle, so as not to lose meat, but the shots behind the paddle did not cause a quick death to the animal, unnecessary suffering. Since I started reloading, I have been using Hornady Interlock SP or RN tips, weighing 250 grains, at a speed of approximately 2300 ft / sec. They do not break the meat. I'm a cultist of African theory, heavy bullets at low speed.
