There are so many bullets out there ,with more coming out everyday that it can be overwhelming to even pick one to try. There are so many that i don't even think a person would have time to test them all.So what is the best way to determine if a bullet is good or not. I think a good test would be whether or not it is good enough to stake your life on. For example in the civil war the Conical and mini were proven. So i use them to hunt with. Now we don't have muzzle loaders for the military anymore but we do still have good soldiers. So maybe we ought to ask our self this question, "would a Marine use the bullet?" I've read a lot of discussions on bullets and no one agrees. .There are so many bullets and they have different purposes, but if we could only stockpile one bullet, what would it be, Lehigh,SST,Shockwave,GoldDot, etc etc.
So let's start by asking ,"would a Marine use Lehigh bullets? Why or why not?
