The old way of go heavy grain bullets for larger game seemed to work just fine, as long as the caliber was appropriate.

What say you?



I don't worry about it. I shoot a 30/06 with 180 grains "Power Point" Winchester factory ammo. I'm good for anything in the lower 48. And probably AK too.

This. Appropriate bullet for the game hunted at appropriate velocity at an appropriate range. Lots of game can be taken with plain Jane bullets at moderate speeds farther than what most people think. But that doesn’t sell anything anymore.

Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
