Just wondering, thought that was pretty interesting picks myself. Semper Fi

And mix of solids and softs. Bonded soft point worked OK for Cape buffalo, so the giant bison should be within reason. Not sure how big a mammoth is but the solids would provide some extra penetration. Last edited by castnblast; 01/26/22.
