I'm not sure I understand all the allegiance, drama, anger, frustration ect regarding ML bullets. In the last 10 years I've killed quite a few deer with XTPs, Gold Dot/Deep Curls, Barnes ect (in various different models) and the results were all the same. Either they dropped right on the spot or ran less than 40 yards and piled up. When you open them up, they looked the same a well.

With the exception of roundballs and Powerbelts, most of the bullets on the market today seem to do a great job.
