I could not agree with you more. I was a bullet manufacture in a former life. I have not shot anywhere near the amount of game you have but I have tested thousands of bullets designs. One of my concerns with long range shooting is hitting game, even if in the right place, does not mean the bullet can still perform. My worries begin at about 400 yards and go exponential the farther the distance. with respect to handgun hunting, many factory bullets are too fragile, I strongly prefer a heavy-for-caliber, hard cast bullet of an LBT design. Even in the relatively small 357 magnum , these will cut a quarter sized hole through and through most game. JHP will expand much too soon on tough game like a hog or BIG game. A friend just shot a nice elk with a cheap cup-n-core .308 bullet. he was luck he hit it three times. I asked him how much he would have paid for a Partition, TSX, or the like at that time? 'Nuff said. Thanks for the post. Dan
