Well here are my thoughts, the more holes you put in to something the better chance for more blood to come out.


Yeah I see what you mean by better controlled expansion but I have had some trouble with these high dollar slugs not exiting the deer and it did run off leaving NO blood trail...


shot a buck with a Rem copper solid and it fragmented which correct me if im wrong but that is no weight retention in my opinion. Plus I really hurt when im paying 15 dollars a box for them... now I think its more like 20 dollars!!! nearly 5 dollars a shot and it will only get worse so I said enough is enough...


got rid of that damn rifled barrel and went and got a smooth bore... heck I even have better groups then I did with my hastings barrel and super dupper sexy has heck slugs... tried the hornady sst, the Winchesters line up, them Rem coptpers, the light fields (would like to try lights in a smooth bore because I think they have something here)


these bennekes are still a little more money then I want to spend but they group well and when they put 2 big holes in a deer i'm pretty sure I will at least have a good heavy blood trail to follow and if so a dead deer at the end of it. If I drop um.... even better!


I think if great ballistics is what ur after then a high powered rifle is the only true way to get it and it wont event cost you as much to shoot better bullets... these marketing companies have a lot of us believing we need to speed money on these sexy slug bullets... I say good marketing on their part at least.
