I don’t much care what the state regs dictate as much as I’m rethinking eating lead chips in my venison. What has given me pause was answering a question yesterday on 180 grain Power Point ammunition down in the Deer Hunting section. A test of 180 grain bullets in Handloader Magazine for penetration and weight retention that I have showed my favorite 180 grain round nose Core-Lokt losing a third of it’s bullet weight in 14” of penetration. The only deer that I’ve ever lost was with a Barnes TSX, so I’m not a fan of that one, but a TTSX sure might be worth a try given what I’ve read here.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
