great points flyblown...great indeed
varmit type projectiles come into their own for head/neck...the theory being a close miss will fragment enough to be fatal or immobilise allowing 2nd shot....stun/cut throat
the wee barnes 50 grn at under 200 yards preform very well and internal damage is similar to slow cup n core of larger cartridge...but damage is done on opposite sides eg lots on near and little on exit.
they great for chest shooting...Im not patient or exceptional shot so they give me a little leeway and confidence....
horses for courses
