You guys simply don't know what you are talking about.  You have probably been watching too much hunting on television wherein every elk that the hero touches with a bullet tips over and dies.  The dirty little secret that really isn't so secret is that what you get to see is actually put together from cuts from footage that leave out, as Paul Harvey used to say, The Rest of the Story.

A jacketed bullet that does not expand is not going to be any more lethal than would be shooting an elk with an arrow w/a field point on it.  Or as the Ballistic Engineer form Sierra I referenced in an earlier thread put it:  ... would be no more immediately lethal than stabbing them with a pencil.

I deal in fact


Do you believe the things you post or are you just trolling?

No you deal in ignorance.

It is you who deals in ignorance and the saddest part of it is you get all smug about it.

Sounds like some need to spend less time on the internet and more time shooting large animals  :twocents:
