Can't find the 300g Deep Curl bullet that was recovered from the juice jugs, but after a little hunt, managed to find a picture of it. This is the 300g Deep Curl that was shot with the same load from the same distance into them 6 juice jug as the Barnes, Nosler, and 270g Deep Curl.

Ron,
Ok, it does show that water jugs and phone books are not a good indication of what a bullet will look like in an animal. I have to admit the DC may look better in an animal, because I know the Barnes does.
I'll use this example that i'm sure FG has posted here. This is what sold my on the Thors.

For what it might be worth... for you folks in Colorado I really do believe the Thor might be the best available lighter weight bullet for that country. Here in Idaho I am stuck with the full bore conical rule - so for me during ML season it is a .503-460 grain Bull Shop - which aint a bad projectile at all... If you could not shoot a Thor - then it would be my next choice in a heart beat....

We have to shoot a full bore and it must be all lead...
We can not use primers at all - must be cap or flint lock
We must have an open breech - so the Omega is out
We must use loose powder - no pellets

I'd be content to hunt my Hawken/Renegade for the rest of my life with a PRB and BP. No crud ring and $.20 a shot. I'd love it.
