With enough KE I dont see a real problem with expandables. I shot the 3 blade rage this year. Killed 6 does, had 6 pass throughs and great blood trails. But with that said I am not going to be one of those guys to bash either fixed or mech. I actually plan on using fixed next year, mainly because I like change. I plan on either using the G5 montecs, slick trick of some make or the NAP hellrazor.
