Will probably never kill a big bear, but if I was out there, I'd be listening to you and Phil.

Reports I've read show 220 NPT penetration equals or exceeds most bullets, even larger calibers.

lmao, and if available to be read i'd be passing word for word info straight from Phil and MD both to You, speaking of DG ammo, I'd have a case full of H-4831 so NO bullet set back/feeding issues would arise, it would also wear a nice heavy pinch from a Lee FCD, each loaded round would then be hand run through the weapons, just the same as I do for SD/CCW ammo in both rifle and pistol, thinking the situation would be stressful enough without worrying about ammo FTF issues.

Trump Won!
