[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5855829, member: 18110"] Ok, going to take the liberty of assuming a few things...just to make it equal. Nothing is known yet. This question is for only as it applies to whitetail deer at less than 250 yards. Assumptions... 1) cost per bullet is same. 2) accuracy is same. 3) speed is within 100fps, with the edge going to the cup and core. (This is based off of book data...not chronograph). These will be at 7-08 speed...27-2800+ fps. Is there any advantage to choosing one over the other? My concern is, at those speeds, the cup and core will "act" like a bonded bullet, and the bonded bullet won't expand sufficiently. Of course, I could be wrong on both counts. Bullets are the CT 150g BT and the 156g Oryx. Anyone with real world experience with these in 7/08? Thanks [/QUOTE]
