And when these modern bullet shooter talk about expansion in their pistol bullets... many would be hard pressed to match that. No I am not saying that every time we shoot a lead conical we get that kind of expansion. Because I know we don't. But that must have drilled one huge hole through that deer on its path. That is amazing numbers. I never guessed they would do that.
