paulvallandigham said:The soft lead ball expands even at low velocities and hitting only flesh, to create an enlarging primary wound channel as it passes through the internal organs of the deer.
paulvallandigham said:The recoil of a PRB is much less than a conical of any kind, for the same powder charge and velocity, which helps the shooter place his ball accurately on the game. Ball placement is what kills game- not velocity, or large bullets. A large bullet poorly places is just going to created a wounded deer that runs off to suffer and die where it can't be recovered.
paulvallandigham said:I am not going to apologize to you, Ron, for bumping into that mountain you carry on your shoulder. I have repeatedly, in past posts, indicated that if I were hunting big game larger than Whitetails, and out in the mountains where you hunt, and distances tend to be a lot longer than what we experience in the rest of the country, the Conicals definitely have their place.
No remark of mine was aimed at you, nor intended to offend your sensibilities about using conicals. So BACK OFF!
