    Its all good @chainsaw.

    They’re not a long range pill as @
    Flyblown has stated they are a tough bonded pill.

    Its the “long range” bit I didn’t say. No mention of the words long or range! And you are right, they certainly aren’t long range bullets.

    One of the things I have never understood is the love affair some of the poms have with hard bullets for little deer. Time and time again you read or hear about roe or fallow or even muntjac shot with bullets that are designed for large medium game animals like heavy red stags, or proper big game. Hard, heavy, tough bullets I’d select if I wanted to shoot an eland. Not all the poms, but its more common than you’d think. I get that they want an exit wound in case they need to track, but they need to track as often as they do because the bullet has pencilled straight through and its run away!

    There’s a vid by one of the better known roe stalkers complaining about Sierra GameKings, when he’s shooting 180gr 30 cals at roe deer, well behind the shoulder. (because they also don’t understand anatomy but that’s another story.) Both deer get knocked over, get up and hurtle off. Nuts.
