When I was younger I chased the speed demons and had failures with cup and core bullets blowing up at high speed. Went the premium bullet route and had failures with solid copper bullets not opening properly. Partitions worked great but tore up too much meat. Now I am older and more experienced I am back to round nose cup and core bullets at more sedate velocities and eating right up to the hole. I have found that at the ranges I take game heavy for caliber round nose bullets work just fine. Turns out those old timers knew what they were talking about after all. I now reside proudly in the Elmer Keith camp.


Life is too short to hunt with ugly guns.
