"would a Marine use the bullet?"
Well today you could not use a bullet the Marine would use - his bullets are not really meant to kill. They are meant to inflict casualties and tie up other people taking care of the wounded. A hunting bullet is a completly different story.
What bullet is the best? easy the bullet that works best for you one that you have faith and trust in. My favorites - I could suggest them to you but until you try them harvest with them are not really your favorite.
I like to think I am a good judge of bullet performance but even ny standards are not necessaritly anyone elses....
To choose a bullet it is somewhat on trust, faith, and your personal knowledge. Usually if you are just beginning to lsten to advertising hype, you ask a trusted friend and you have enough faith in him/her to make a decision on what you would like to try.
As far as the Lehigh's go - I personally think they show promise, but at this point and time I really do not know. The physical description of how they work bothers me, but if you break it down to math - mathematically they should work well, what is that show on TV that relies on math to solve everything? Numbers that's it...
When I read accounts of the 45-70 guys shooting buffalo with them and having really decnt success - I guess I am thinking they will work on an elk but only time will tell.
Hope i have not muddied the waters...
