RE: SST and Shockwave blood trails?
SST's and shockwqaves are in and out for me. Powerbelts give pretty decent expansion but they haven fallen apartmore than I like. Best killing bullet has been the XTP for me. Best shot was 130 yrds w/ a 240 grain XTP w/ 80 grains of Goex BP w/a the TC Thunderhawk. The 9 pointer ran another 30 yrds deeper into the swamp. It took me 3hrs to draghim out to where I could gut'um.
