al4x Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you are target shooting then fine, if on live quarry it will just zip through and you will have plenty of runners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the poacher Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 so you suggest no good for live quarry then................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 nope and exactly why we get to use expanding. Add to that ricochet risks increase and its just not worth it in my book. It might be fine on rabbits but I wouldn't use it on foxes and small deer it would be illegal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 so you suggest no good for live quarry then................ Certainly not first choice on the whole, but will do the job fine with accurate placement. (not deer legal as mentioned) As regards accuracy, then you will have to try, as always changing any ammo should be accompanied by a zeroing session!
