    We had to head shoot for pet food, chest shots ok for skins.
    Very explosive and lots of tissue damage with body shots. Head shots often produced jelly bags of pulp.

    Thar, from your photo it looks like way more tissue damage with the heavy soft pills than what you would see with 120/130 gn pills in a 6.5, .260. CM etc?

    Yes, going by that one off.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
