things better. Depends on
the rifle! I've got a rem. That'll spit core lokts like you've never seen, put a ballistic tip in it & no telling where it's going. I've got a Winchester that'll won't shoot a core lokt for nothing, put a win silver ballistic tip & it'll drive tacks. Have a browning that'll drive tacks with SST's & won't group anything else! Trial & error my brother. Sometimes you gotta spend a lil money but it'll be better in the long run.

Your right bro,I should stick with what works. I shoot a browning bar safari and it shoots very tight groups with the hornady sst's. The reason I started this thread was I lost a nice 10pt buck last year. Was hunting on my pipeline stand made a 240 yard shot. He dropped right away,thought I had his azz. Took my phone out to text my uncle to give me a hand,look up and he's gone! Gave him about 30 mins to expire. When we started tracking him we found nothing! Looked over and over again for 4 hours. No blood,no hair,nothing! Part of hunting sometimes...

& really Ryan that has nothing to do with ammo........That's hunting! I've shot them SOB's at 10 steps with a 50 cal muzzle loader, a 300 grain chunk of lead & didn't find them! He hit the ground like he'd been hit upside the head by a Mack truck! Then left! I killed one with buckshot that only one pellet hit it in the front leg at the knee & it bleed out!!!! How freaking crazy is that! You'll win some & lose some! & I know.........we need to do everything in our power to win em all. But if that's what your guns likes stick with it, it's easy to get discouraged & change, don't know how many times I've been discouraged & wanted to change, but most of the time it boiled down to my error & I didn't want to accept it.

You hit the nail on the head. I was very confident I made a good shot. I am still sick about loosing that big boy.
