Would I not normally use a solid for deer at 300yards - no, you're right, absolutely right, but I would use a bullet that acted like a solid as well as acting like a soft because that was the bullet I carried due to it's abilities to do both jobs. I think the design allows it's use for both games, and is why Rod and I were so intrigued by them.

Yes - David - the cupped cavity could very easily be handled with a plug adnthe rest of the bullet, an easy lathe job for someone like Veral.

Perhaps if suggested that the cup was necessary, and this is the bullet I want you to make me, he might capitulate.
