Well caribou, thanks for the experience. You got to go what you have confidence in. Its rather surprising that a solid 1oz piece of copper would come apart. But stranger things have happened.

For example. I have a best buddy who I help load for with 130gr gamekings in a 270win. He swears up and down that the bullet is failing on him. I have yet to see a deer go 20 yards when hit in the lungs. Out of doezens. He says most deer he shoots go 200 yards or more but claims when/if he finds them there is alot of trauma and damage to the lungs/heart. Says the lungs are melted. But he is not known to be a liar. So he has to use what he has confidense in.

I have shot probably 15-20 deer with em. So that gives me alot of confidense.

Thanks for explaining.
