I still like mine leaded. Monolithic construction makes me a little nervous...Too many reports about lack of expansion a possability.


My thoughts as well...

Quite a few of the younger, up-and-coming PHs are starting to think like this. During my research, I noticed most of the more experienced guys are still recommending heavy lead bullets based on their formative years' experience, while the younger guys are seeing the benefits of lighter, monolithic bullets during theirs and are recommending them. I figure neither is a wrong answer as the PHs of the era are merely reporting thier observations at the time.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
