Perspective on Bullet Performance

[L. Cooper]

I am sometimes impressed by the spectacular results from high velocity and small weights in some calibers, but, as a rapidly ageing hunter, I have become much more interested in reliability than showmanship. As a result I now load heavier bullets than I did in my reckless youth.

I have had too many "Murphy" experiences (as already mentioned) to be willing to rely on putting that bullet where it must go. I believe I can shoot, but hunting makes for difficult shooting very often, and when that happens I want a bullet that I know will not be another variable that can turn against me. I shoot premium grade bullets in whatever caliber at all living things.

I also have come to appreciate a good exit wound and the resulting blood to help track. It has proved its worth more than I would have liked.
