I WANT BULLET INTEGRITY, NO EXPANSION (WHICH INHIBITS/SLOWS PENETRATION) THAT IS WHY I PREFER FMJ FLAT POINTS LIKE THE COR-BON PENETRATORS, THE PUNCH BULLETS AND THE BARNES BUSTERS. I DO NOT TRUST CAST BULLETS FOR THE BIG STUFF BECAUSE A HARD BULLET IS A BRITTLE BULLET, i.e.IT CAN AND MAY BREAK UP. IN AFRICA AND IN ALASKA I PREFER THE FLAT POINT FMJ's .............
I know of a couple of guys that had a rough time with cast bullets on Cape buff which is why my last African hunt I used Punch bullets in both of my Freedom Arms model 83`s. The hunt
cost me to much money to have to worry about my bullet... Don`t know enough about cast bullets and how to make them correctly for the game being hunted for me to consider them. For those that do know, I wish them good hunting....My scoped 475 used a handload with a 390 gr. punch over 296 while my iron sight 500WE used Grizzly`s 420 gr punch ammo...Hit that buff with five of the punch bullets from the 500WE and like you, offered the skinners money for the bullets, but none were recovered...
