all i know is using a handgun i may hunt big enough stuff that i want to use a non expandable but in a hunt that expensive i'll use something more reliable than a hardcast, that said, i've killed well more than enough animals in the 500 to 2000 lb range to know that i really prefer an expandable round if at all possible. heck, my son's bearhunt which may end up being televised on one of the outdoors shows on sportsmans channel illustrates this clearly and is yet one more of the quick DRT type kills i've gotten with good expandables. i've just gotten more of them with this than hardcasts.

which is very different than saying that hardcasts don't work.
