You might like this take: Expanding bullets sometimes don't expand, or worse they over-expand. Cast bullets are predictable.


JOG, don't be a blasphemer. Cast certainly do frequently outperform expanding bullets, particularly in the realm they were designed to operate -- straight-line, bone breaking, no compromise penetration. I have had jacketed expanding bullets fail to exit on many occasions -- not the case with flat-nosed hardcast bullets. The predictability is good enough for me. So, are you saying you like hardcast over expanding bullets??
