I was thinking that it would be a good idea to start a thread on recovered hunting bullets and how they have actualy performed on game.
This could provide interesting information to hunters and give them some real life evidence on how they perform. Not just advertising hype.
I will start of this thread and give some details of the bullet. It would be good if you could provide similar information
