Ok....there you have it. My thoughts...

I was totally impressed with the Big all lead bullets...amazed actually. (in fact, ALL the all lead bullets did well)

The Barnes and Nosler Partition did EXACTLY what they are designed to do.

The XTP's & Shockwaves did great, which goes along with the overall reports on them.

The Knight bullets, which I shoot personally (Speer 260's jacketed hp)...did well, which I knew they would. I've had excellent performance on live game with them over the years -- even though they are listed as "plinkers" on Speer's website, not as "hunting" rounds.

Here is a pic of the only one I ever recovered, most blow right through. Never had one get away, most don't go far at all...some are DRT. I guess we should have listed the % expansion as 177% or 77% gain. You get the picture.
