:grin: This is a great bullet there is no question about that. However in this world we live in there is a great temptation to buy the "premium" brand or the latest fad from the outdoor writers etc. The reality of it is that this bullet was the one that was picked from nearly two dozen outfitters in the Yukon Territories after a guy asked them to help out in a bullet performance study that I think was conducted over a 13 year period. The bullets were fired from everything from a 35 Remington up to a 358 Norma Mag. They used EVERY bullet made in the study and when the smoke all cleared this Speer Hot Core was the one still standing. So I guess in this case the most expensive isn't always the best??? They recovered many dozens of .358 bullets but NONE showed better quality's than the Speer. So spend your money if you must impress your friends but the bottom line is this bullet will kill Moose Elk and Bears with the very best of them! 8)
