re: My bullet saved me from the worst shot I've made on a deer in 30 years yesterda

I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. I have no dog in this fight.
It would bother me that my bullet wasn't holding together on gut shots. Not that I make a habit out of shooting deer in the guts, but it happens to all of us. IMO, when you're hunting with something that fragments, you're gambling. I'm glad you've had such good results with it, but I couldn't trust it. I like consistency. As in every bullet does the exact same thing no matter where I put it. Open up a little bit, frick up whatever's in its way, and make it out the other side in one big flat piece.

Which this one does every single time you put it in the chest cavity.
I have no clue what it is about very high velocity rounds and guts but there's got to be something there because I've only gutshot two deer in my life and they both flopped over dead and looked like a bomb went off in them.
It makes no sense till you start to take into account the media you're shooting it into. Then I'm still not sure how much that's correct. There's something happening there that's slowing them way down, way fast which it doesn't do with a larger, slower round. Which is why I might add that with that big ole exit wound in the guts from other rounds you have to get lucky to find them. It didn't transfer enough energy to killing the target. It just made a nice hole through it.
And I just like arguing this shite so take none of it personally and I promise I won't.
