I thought it might be fun to post some pics to illustrate how much bullet construction effects performance. Here's my last one. What do you think?

He uses the Hornady 162 gn A-max (now called ELD-M) @ 2600 fps out of a 7x57 or 7mm-08 to get devastating DRT wounds... I guess the sierra 160 TMK works similar... Almost decapitating game on neck shots...
