Im going to use a 130 gr bullet. Im was going to try the federal fusion, winchester power max bonded , and the Winchester ballistic silver tips. Any of you guys have thoughts on these 3 bullets? I know alot of people don't like the ballistic tips but the only trouble I have had from these in the past was shooting them in an old woods master and the gun would break the tops off when next round chambered in the semi automatic.

Out of those three I would go with the winchester power max bonded. I tried the 130 fusions in my 270 and wasn't real happy with performance on deer. The entry and exit holes were about the size of a pencil even though he only ran about 15 yards I still like at least a good exit hole that way if I do have to trail one.

Another vote for the powermax bonded. Shot them before in my 300 win mag with great results. Performed about like an accubond

When a bullet doesn't explode it often leaves small exit wounds but the inside will have a lot of damage from hydro static shock. Most huge exit wounds are caused by more than one piece of the bullet exiting.

It's a trade off. Fragmenting bullets will kill faster on good broadside shots where the vitals are easily reached but bullets that hold together and still expand well will reach vitals if a less than perfect shot is taken.

130 grain psp core locts leave no doubt, most deer I have shot wiith them DRT! looks lime they were struck by lighting. and every walmart carries them, Im just saying, lol, I know lots of people lol at core locts, Not I
