What animal gets shot with a .20 pill that needs controlled expansion? Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them.

The do make the 64 grain bonded solid base in .224 which covers that space. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

Too bad that load is so hard to find; looked for that 45 for a friend who hunts fur (wolves on down) and prefers the less destructive slower bullet, especially when he tags fox with it. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

I believe that is one of the bullets on Hornady's suspended list. Hopefully they get them going soon; a friend of mine really likes them for fur, as well as deer & antelope.

A CRF rifle is also a must, because with a push feed there is little chance of the round making it all the way into the chamber without a dreadful jam.
