I couldn't view these Ron. My computer has been acting up lately. So I don't know how those 2 bullets performed. Personally I don't mind bullets that fragment. I shot a bull moose a couple years ago with my .30-06 using 180 gr Sierra Game Kings. My first shot was head on. My 2nd and 3rd hit him broadside and were complete pass throughs. I didn't know it at the time but the first bullet core separated from the jacket. The core traveled through the chest and lodged in the back straps after traveling about 24" or so. The jacket turned downward and passed through the diaphram slicing the liver and stomach and exiting out the belly.
that bull only traveled 30 yards. The first shot would have definitely killed him but I wasn't taking any chances.

I read posts all the time on Medicare / Social Security Children using 50 grains of powder - a roundball and harvesting every year. No doubt there's one or two wearing a diaper too.

Ahem!!! I resemble that remark!!! Some of use old farts need lighter recoiling loads thank you very much Granted I'm still built like a tank and still meaner than a rattlesnake when POed but after 65 ya just don't "bounce" like you 50 year old pups do!!!

LOL it aint that difficult. Try lugging around a 12 pound (fully loaded with optics) AR or a 110 pound Slugger to build up those muscles I actually like a heavier rifle myself. I shoot a LOT better off hand with around 12 or so pounds. Now them really LOOOOOOONGGGGGG howitzer looking flintlocks are a little much for me though. Even swamped they are just absolutely too dang nose heavy even for my gorilla arms.
