Excellent job! I always find the pictures of the damage informative.

James, those of us that have used these bullets know the damage that they do. To say it very simply, they just work. Great shooting James! Loaded em up & hit em hard!

James from Jersey; what part of Jersey has hogs and beautiful woods like I see in your photos? Thanks again for sharing your hunt stories and shot/ kill data.

Congrats. The sound of the squeal and watching them go sideways as the bullet hits is always exciting.

when you speak of those that have taken more game than you, who would that be? i can't think of one right now. perhaps a few shooting more exotic animals in crazy places but in volume i think ya got top spot.
