You do realize the heaviest GMX they make is a 165 gr in .30cal right? Unless he was shooting from 500 yards or more, I can't see velocity being a problem. Sounds more like a guy blaming his poor marksmanship on bullets to me. I've seen a pile of critters go down to GMX bullets and I've recovered a handful and expansion is most definitely not an issue, at least above 1800-2000 fps.

Bill, I'm surprised you got caught up in this tale.
