    There are a lot of different things that come into play as mentioned. About 10 years ago I found a bullet that really shot well in my .257 Wby mag. I shot an antelope with it and found that when it hit a bone, the bullet exploded and really made a mess. Never used that bullet again.

    Where is everyone?

    In the last several months I have noticed a big drop off of posts. I would expect to see an increase of successful tag holders and future hunters asking lots of questions and asking for advice. Is it just me or have other members noticed the same thing?
