I recovered all bullets except the deer and they were a perfect flower peddle. I have no plans off shooting anything else. :)

Post by: bonecrusher on June 10, 2010, 04:49:03 PM: any up close shots with those littlejon? i found them to be great at mid to long range but the one up close shot was all it took for me to switch.

MY bull was 30 yards, but it was a head on chest shot. I found the bullet in the liver fully expanded. The one bear was 60 yards, hit him in the high shoulder/ low spine area and broke him down. Bullet was on the off side hide. Same shot on the other bear just about 150 yds, and the same performence :dunno:
