I was also impressed by the performance of the big lead bullets. I think with any of those options you will have no trouble with any sort of game in the lower 48....
I agree that this gives a baseline to see how these bullets performed in this test. I would like to think they would have similar or better performance on game...but who knows. It appears from the two bullets recovered from game, this appears to be the case.
The way my son catagorized the bullets was based on what HE decided was best to worst, based on his findings. As sabotloader pointed out...some that appeared worse in his findings, actually did exactly what they were supposed to. So I guess we have to come to our own conclusions on each one. Or better yet, lets go test some out on game and see what happens
I know I want to try out some big lead...can't wait to whop something with one of them!
