Cutting Edge Bullets

[WYO300RUM]

The 9mm 90gr pistol bullets worked great on a doe I shot at 25 yards. 2 petals cut through the lungs one lodged in the heart, the base hit the heart as well. 40 yards and fell over.

I've never used cutting edge before and don't know what 45 cal the make for my 460 S&W and 454 Casull big boomers but I want to try them on a doe first. Maybe some for my 44 mag also. I'll have to get on their site to see. I don't hunt with pistols much anymore. Maybe even for my 35 rem. In TC ?
A 9mm on a doe ? Rad

Way to pull us off topic. Rifle bullets <> pistol bullets because rifle <> pistol.

I posted about rifle bullets/experiences also. Whatever .

I posted the meme because of what the guy above me said. It doesn't bother me if the subject shifts .

I wouldn't dare shoot at an animal with a 9x19 handgun. They just barely are acceptable on humans.

I know you did. Either way no worries to me ! I also have a scoped 460 S&W TC Encore rifle barrel . Does that qualify ?
And a scoped 35 Rem. in a pistol barrel.

Only snake oil I see in this thread is bullets that magically know when they reach the other side and put on the brakes to stop and release their "energy dump". Campfire lore and marketing hype that has no basis in fact or science.

It takes energy to mangle a bullet-Not scientist enough to answer the question, but it would not surprise me to find that's where most of the energy goes.

I suspect there isn't generally much velocity/energy left after exit.

Probably depends on velocity and distance the bullet entered and exited. I'm not a scientist or ballistics expert either.

Lot's of factors-material etc., but principle wise I don't think assuming things like X amount of ft/lbs per ____size animal, until you know where and how much, and where that energy is being applied, just doesn't add up to me.

Overkill338, based on your negativity/complaints to most all bullet threads lately (many you have started)....I'm dying to know what bullet you shoot? It must be perfect!

Thanks!

I started the one about the ELD-X not being good under 400, because of all the bickering in the ELD for Grizzly thread. So I contacted Hornady and posted their response. I don't bash everything, just can't stand gimmick ammo. Everyone and their brother jumped on the RIP pistol ammo, because it "looked cool", but fragmenting ammo just does not work like an expanded mushroom. If you shoot this crap, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

My preferred bullets? Partitions and Accubonds. If you can find something wrong with a Partition, please do tell.

The lazers are used for ELR shooting by a lot of guys.

Overkill338 Are you just singling out the raptor line? Or the whole bullet line?

Any gimmick pills, that come apart to supposedly cause more damage.

Never seen an animal impressed by foot lbs energy. For lethal destroy maximum vital tissue. For recovery give me an exit hole.

They may not be impressed, but you are more likely to get a bang flop with 3000 ft/lbs,, than you are 1000, because the energy is part of the equation that causes hydrostatic shock. Yet if the bullet isn't I'm the correct location, it doesn't matter if you have 5000 ft/lbs.
