He said the target vld had a thicker jacket than the hunting vld If the hunting vld has a thinner jacket, I would assume it would be closer to the SMK than the target vld Careful. This is a discussion/debate between 2 engineers. This could get a little more nuts.Are you sure about that? My standing as an engineer has already been questioned once in this thread by the other engineer... I'm not sure I count anymore. I deal with engineers every day. I wouldn't expect anything less.

On a more serious note, I think JD has a really valid point.If a mfgr. Recommended against using their bullet on deer, I would not use it on deer.

Recommended against using their bullet on deer, I would not use it on deer. yes, but the simple fact is, they are very effective killers, and many, many hunters use them with great success.
Personally, I'd be more concerned with meat loss, i.e. blood-shot meat than anything else using these splatter type bullets. I'm sure they kill stuff extremely dead. Dare I mention a Nosler Ballistic Tip? Would this type of bullet fit the same sort of conversation? I've seen those bullets make deer extremely dead, but when they grenade inside the animal, they do ruin a bunch of meat.I guess I prefer the weight retention type bullets personally. Those with a white tip...
