There will all ways be a difference in needs depending on the area and circumstances under which people find a place they can hunt. All bullets will take game under the right circumstances granting a good hit, Personally my preference is a double lung hit and a bullet that will stop a game animal in his tracks or close to it. Part of the reason for this is where I hunt the Little Red River is on the east edge of my property it has a very fast current and is deep any animal that gets into it is gone. Since I need to stop game very quick and prefer to shoot the lungs instead of the meat the more damage the better. Since I sometimes need to shoot 200 yards, I need enough velocity to make that practical.
The idea of of the hollow point breaking up and delivering a large amount of energy at a certain depth is new to a lot of us, but we all did know that a bullet with a large metplat that penetrates deeply will kill; I am very interested in the idea of combining the two.
As far as the meat loss is concerned there is not much meat on the ribs over the top of the heart [ about 2-3 inches above] where I aim any how.
