I always say I compare them to mechanical broadsheads.I don't think I've seen a bullet with so many varied reports of performance. It seems the truth has to be somewhere in the middle.
When they work they are very effective, when they don't you lose game.
So my take is if I pay for a hunt. I want to eliminate even the slightest chance to not bag my game be it a not perfect shot or bullet not opening.
I'll take a bit of a track job and recover animal over drt. Hence why I've moved slowly to hammers or cutting edge. I don't expect to hit my elk at less than 100 but the chance came and I took it free hand on a moving elk. Shoulder didn't matter.
That being said it all depends on the size of round to start. If Berger made a 400gr .375 I'd rock that for sure. If it didn't open still big hole. If it is a close shot the mass will help.
