the BULLET DOES 100% of the work

correct bullet placement is the most important factor, exact bullet placement is MANDATORY for getting or expecting reasonable results

bullet construction has a HUGE effect on the type of wound

bullets slow down as range increases,bullets are normally designed for a certain impact velocity window,a bullet designed to expand at 1900-2300fps can,t be expected to perform well at impact velocitys exceeding 3000fps

picking the correct bullet for the application, and placing it on the target correctly is the key to getting reliable bullet performance.


bullets with a jacket designed for slower expansion and having a sectional density of about .260-.300 almost always give reasonably good results.

ITS not the rifle or cartridge used, its the bullet placement and the skill of the hunter that places the shot that determines the results most of the time.

almost any centerfire cartridge will kill almost any game under the correct set of circumstances.

knowing the EXACT LOCATION of your targets VITALS IS MANDATORY

MAGNUMS are NO BETTER OR WORSE that standard cartridges in the hands of a HUNTER that understands the LIMITS and CHARICTERISTICS of the rifle hes useing,and who uses them as they are designed to be used.

MAGNUMS are best used to push heavier bullets to standard velocities rather than light bullets to excessive velocities for the bullet used.

if you fail to follow directions, or operate within the design limits of the equipment its hardly the equipments fault
