[QUOTE="Allen, post: 355233, member: 389"] Back when I got out of the Corps in 1992, I bought my 25-06 and shot the pretty standard Remington CoreLokts. They killed things just fine for the most part, but there was one really nice buck I had to put a few shots into at over 400 yds, none of which exited the deer or had really great penetration. So that put me in the market looking for something with a little more pizzaz, which was when I went to the Ballistic tipped bullets, again commercially loaded. Then I started to get a lot more opportunities at deer in fairly close range which led to my dislike of the BSTs as they exploded and sent pieces all throughout the animal. Right about that time was also when the whole lead from bullets being found at great distances away from the wound channel (the xrays were quite telling) and it coincided with the ex and I planning on having kids, so we went copper and I've never looked back.
