1. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing with the rest of us...

2. slow and heavy shows some pretty impressive penetration results....

3. the 85 grain HP Sierra will show much deeper penetration if the MV is slowed down more...and more weight retention..

4. the Reason the Sierra Game Kings won't load is that you have probably reached the file size limit with your other pictures..
just start another with a response mode..
