Shot placement is everything to me,, as a young man I hunted with a lot of heavy mags 300 win mag ,7stw and some others ,used to hunt with partitions and some of the other solids available to hand loaders. I've seen bullets do some crazy stuff,, I guess let me clarify that, I've seen bullets that were supposed to expand and really do a lot of internal damage sometimes not do that. As time went on I began to trade those super mag high velocity rifles in for lesser cartridges and lesser bullets, I personally began to shoot hollow point target bullets because the other hobby I had besides hunting was target shooting and I became so confident in a lot of the hollow point 6. 5 and 7 mm bullets that I was shooting I became heavily influenced by the accuracy rather than being drawn to the bullet performance side,, every center fire rifle that I've hunted with the last 10 years has been with a hollow point target bullet and with a confidence that if I need to shoot the animal in the throat or the temple or the upper shoulder or really any part of his body or hit the heart exactly I'm confident that I can do that, I've also disciplined myself when I'm hunting if I don't have the shot I want I let that animal walk,, I never just let one go into the boiler room and hope for the best. I'm personally not a blood trail guy,, I'm a dead deer guy, I know sometimes you don't get to the dead deer without the blood trail I understand that,, if it were me I don't know that I would give up on that bullet just yet,, I would keep practicing with it,, but if I did give up on it I would call Dennis at fury bullets and get me about a thousand of 250 grains start tips,,,
