One thing is certain. The hollowpoint did not prevent the bullet from crushing through not only one, but two, shoulders. I haven't taken a scapula shot with a 385 GP bullet but theycreatebetter than quarter sized exit holes on a double lung shot. Devastating projectile. These heavy hollowpoints have so much momentum that they enter the vitals with alot of their velocity and energy retained. Lighter faster moving projectiles dissipate a greater proportion of their energy at right angles to impact at the surface and enter vitals areduced energies, not that it matters (except for ruining meat), as it doesn't take a whole lot of energy to do the job.

In any event, those moderately charged hollowpoint conicals seem to continue expanding as they drive through game leaving a verylarge wound. Incredibly effective projectiles (though maybe too effective?) in my own experience and also in yours.

I think that the 425gr Great Plains is perfect. I also want to try the 425gr Buffalo Conical to see if there is any difference.
