You know guys, before I started looking at the internet, I never heard much about bullet failures. I mean, you shot the animal, you looked for him, you either found him or you made a bad shot. This went for corelokts, gamekings, Bullistic tips, anything.

But in the past 5 years, I notice dozens and dozens of posts explaining bullet failures, or exploding bullets, or even on post on here where a guy thought his bullistic tips were exploding in midair and fragmenting on the target.

I either have been real lucky and never experienced these or some maybe a tad overstated. I would say , I need more experience killing more animals, but have knocked down maybe 50 deer or more or less, moose, pronghorn, turkey, etc. Now, I have never been known much in the luck department. Bad cars, bad women, bad marriages about killed me one time or another costing me two fortunes. Missed opportunities all over the place. So I can't say its good luck.

I would say a majority of my deer have been shot with Corelokts, another huge piece by gamekings and BT's, and misc few on bullet testing with X bullets, partitions, and now accubonds. Moose taken with A-frames, and partitions, and grandslams. I can't say, that I have seen a failure if I hit them where I was supposed to. Sure, they didn't drop on the spot. But none ran like impossible distances like 300 yards. I mean I have only had a few bow shots that ran that far and that was my fault for pushing them.

Does anyone see a bad trend on the sport? I was looking thru my handloader mag from 1995. And I couldn't find any mention of failures. This was a edition about STW's too.

Now, in all my magizines, I see it all over the place.
