Have no qualms about using that PT bullet this fall Muley.

When I test five of my new bullets on a pine tree trunk in late October, I'll know more about which ones I hunt with. The two lead Precisions are a virtual lock to pass the test. Only question marks are my 250 Deep Curls, 200 gr. SSTs and Barnes copper XPBs. Hoping to find the core of that XPB in the soft pine tree-trunk. Not expecting the peels to accompany it.

What's odd about that test is noting that the best mushroom I ever saw enbedded in a pine tree trunk, came from a 270 gr. Buffalo Ballet conical last winter. It's just not a bullet I trust to fly accurately, beyond 100 yards. So unless I return to under 75 yards swamp hunting someday, I won't consider the Ballet for hunting anymore.
