So, you have spinning razor blades that drive through the animal to destroy flesh and exit leaving a huge blood trail.
A bullet that squashes down into a blob can't do that kind of damage.
An added benefit is no lead in an animal i'm going to eat.
A little extra cost is well worth it.
The bullet far left it 300g Deep Curl, next is 270g Deep Curl, next is 290g Barnes TEZ, and far right is 300g Nosler Partition. They are all recovered after being shot at the 6 juice jugs filled with water. They were all shot from the same rifle at the same distance with the same load. The Nosler is the only one that knocked over all 6 jugs, and the bundle of phone books.
Oops, i just realized the 300g Deep Curl is one i recovered from jugs blasted at 200 yard.
Please note that the Deep Curl bullets did not 'squash down into a blob'.
In the picture below, which was taken on November 18, 2010, the 300g Deep Curl dropped the deer on the spot, hitting no bone, except for rib. The in and out holes are 2".
There was no blood trail.
