Thanks onehorse. That means alot from a person with your vast experience. Some of my most accurate reloads are compressed loads using light bullets providing velocities in the 3300-3400 FPS. These are my paper punching loads. I owe the animal a one shot kill out of respect so I tend to favor the Accubond bullet..gets the job done IMO. The bullet market has improved tenfold over the last few years as Ronn touched on. Is there really a bad bullet out there? It may shoot lousy in your gun and great in the guy next to you. There are specific bullet construction for specific applications in which the velocities and shot placement determine the results. I don't state anything here you don't already know. I personally aim about 1-2" behind the shoulder low opting for a double lunger to avoid bone contact. A scapula shot on deer takes them down too but that's where the bullet construction vs velocity rules come into play.
