I've shot some game with various handguns, not tons of large stuff, but a fair amount of smaller game. The differences I've seen between RN bullets and Lyman/Keith bullets I can only describe as profound in the effect on game, and the look of the wounds. The SWC wounds generally looked bruised and bloodshot, the RN wounds clean, and not so much reaction from the game to the hit in comparison. Have had a number of instances of jack rabbits getting up and running off after body hits with 45 auto ball ammo, and RN 44 spl and 45 Colt loads also. I've heard others comment they've had similar results.
Do any of you guys have larger game experience to compare RN vs SWC bullet types with, and are my results on smaller game up to coyotes and deer unique?
ETA: Please note, I'm interested in discussing actual hunting use, and the actual details of such use, not test media and results. Thanks!
ETA again: If your post doesn't include the words "I shot X animal with Y bullet" its probably off topic. This isnt the bullet theory thread, its the hunting experiences thread. Thanks.
