[QUOTE="Warren Jensen, post: 243, member: 21"] Darryl, I doubt you have more experience than I do on bullet performance on live animals. When you have personally shot large game that number in four figures or have witnessed the same at about ten times that number then you will be approaching my experience. We purchase animals here that have limited life expectancies, for bullet testing. We do not advertise this, for obvious reasons. My experience is not theory nor paper testing. When I state something it is from 1st hand knowledge and years of testing. We also test bullet performance of all manufacturers at all ranges. I am very aware of how MKs perform at long range. What I have been trying to ease you into is an awareness that what you consider to be expansion at long range, is not that at all. You may be getting mushrooming at impact velocities above 1500 fps., but you are just as likely to be getting bullet destabilization and tumbling. Those grapefruit and volleyball size exit holes you speak of are characteristic of destabilized bullets, not mushroomed bullets. If you want to say it is still lethal, I won't argue at all. What it is though, is not controlled and sometimes not predictable. [/QUOTE]
