Another way i look at it Personally, is the Type of Hunt I plan to go on? For example, A stand hunt for Whitetail, Either from a Tree, Blind, or as I personally do, Just find a Nice Spot to Tuck myself in and Sit down. On a Stand type Hunt i would have 100% Confidence in my Paper Patch Bullets, After all i am just Sitting and Waiting for a Deer to come in.
On the other Hand, For a GROUND AND POUND Elk Hunt, where i am Hiking several Miles, and no telling what kind of terrain i am gonna end up in before the Day is out? I will go wherever the Elk are, In most cases around here you will find them in the Nastiest Canyons, Draws, Etc. That Idaho has to offer! The LAST thing i want to Worry, or Think about is a “Slip Fit” Bullet possibly Backing off the Powder Charge? Me throwing my gun up in a “heat of the moment” deal and touching a Shot off, VERY Possibly internally “Ringing” My Barrel and Ruining it, Not to mention the Elk i just Missed, or Hit Wrong?
I know me, i would Constantly be pulling my Ramrod and Checking the Bullet to see if it had moved? On a Hunt like this, I want 1 of my Snug/tight Fitting Grease Groove Bullets that I have to PUSH Nice n Solid to the Powder, The ONLY way that bullet can POSSIBLY move is if i Ask it to (By Pulling the Trigger :cool2)
