"When it comes to killing effectiveness, bullet construction has a much greater impact than SD. This has been established by industry experts, and is borne out in my own experience as a hunter and guide, as well. In the hundreds of BG animals I've seen die, the trend that I've noticed is that a lighter bullet of controlled expansion, whether a Nosler PT, Barnes TTSX, etc, penetrates deeper and more reliably than a heavier C&C. Now that doesn't necessarily means than a controlled-expansion bullet kills more effectively than other designs like a Berger VLD or other C&C design."
The above is a quote from your post #88. Had I realized you were a top tier guide who has witnessed "hundreds" of BG kill's I would never had considered disagreeing with some of your very pragmatic comments.
You have been a very busy guy with several decades of experience for a seemingly younger individual.
Compared to us armchair guys you have done very well
