Doc, Do you think those 200 grain Shockwaves expand better than the 250's? I've never had a problem killing deer with the 250's myself but I've had several people tell me that they don't expand well? I've always wanted to try the 200's because I thought the recoil might be a bit milder for my daughters.


Yes the 200 gr shock wave absolutely expand better than the 250 gr shock wave. I have field dressed deer shot with both the 200 gr and the 250 gr shock wave, the 250 gr would channels and damage is similar to a 30-06 and a 200 gr bullet. The 200 gr shock wave is similar to a .270 130 gr or a 7mm using a 140 gr bullet.
