The RIP is a light-for-caliber, solid copper projectile that expands well, but does not create an optimal wound channel, regardless of its aggressive appearance. Watch this review by YouTube bullet tester tnoutdoors9:

If you prefer solid copper rounds, you might want to check out those available from Barnes or DPX. The new Honey Badger solid copper projectiles from Black Hills Ammo show great promise for a new technology offering. Read about them here: Black Hills Honey Badger: The Science Behind the Game-Changing Ammo

The solid copper projectiles are expensive; some work better than others. I am open to new technology, but for the most part I go with the latest technology, more traditional hollow point offerings. I have had great success with the Federal HST rounds in most calibers. They expand and penetrate well, creating massive wound channels. In short, they work well at a lesser cost. Check out other offerings by Hornady, Remington, Speer, Winchester, etc. You may like them better.

All in all, there really is no magic bullet. Bullet placement is everything, so practice, practice, practice - observe proper gun safety, and always have a loaded firearm on your person. The life you save may be mine.

If you are interested, I mostly buy my ammo from these folks: SGAmmo.com | Family Owned and Operated Ammo Sales, Stillwater OK

YMMV

Lol who has hurt y’all that you now consider northerners to be so evil? I know great people and jackazzes that are from the north. Just as I know great people and jackazzes from the south.

That literally just describes all people. Not northern, not southern. Some are awesome. Some suck.

Just basic tribalism. The tribe shrinks to the context of the conversation.

America > World
South > Rest of America
Tennessee > South
East Tennessee > rest of Tennessee
Knoxville > rest of East Tennessee
East Knoxville > rest of Knoxville
My neighborhood > other neighborhoods
My family/team/religion/school/etc.> other family/team/religion/school/etc.
Me tho > my family/team/religion/school/etc.

I am using my perspective though, do I need to tag it with IMO?

Zion at 6'6" 285lbs with a game similar to a throw back center (without the rebounding or height) will be a bust playing in this league if he doesn't develop the other aspects of his game and get in better shape. I mean hell, just getting into the 260s imagine how much MORE explosive he can be? It's obvious he's got some serious athletic ability...he's just still very raw and watching a guy like Luka in a "head to head" highlighted that.

24 a game at 19 at 58%+ from the field is impressive, but it's only a 17 game sample size... I'm just already over "Mt. Zion" blah blah from the sports media when far superior players are in the league getting no love.

By perspective, I mean context... not your opinion.

He can't be both raw and a finished product (bust?) at the same time. A small sample size can't point to a lower floor unless a higher ceiling is also possible.

Hope UK bans The Rupp Racist for life. No place for that.

Of course, Matt Jones is already talking about forgiveness. Funny thing is he is acting as if he or UK are the ones to give her forgiveness. Shouldn't it be the guy behind the camera?

I also wonder what those UK players think about this lady rooting "for them".

What are you all currently watching?

I'm working on:
The Outsider
The Expanse
McMillions
Current Curb season

Awaiting Westworld and Ozarks, both on season 3.

The amount of high quality television these days is just insane. Imo it is eclipsing film as the top medium to tell an in-depth, fully fleshed-out story.

just started Outsider...i'm trying to stick with the Expanse, got about 3/4 thru season one, but man....i hear it gets better so i may go back to it eventually.

i'm in on BCS and dispatchers from elsewhere on AMC....wish you could binge either one of those.

haven't started mcmillions yet, but it's on the list.

definitely waiting on WW and Ozark.

just finished Hunters.

and am toying with whether or not to get in to Locke and Key....seems interesting, but not 100% sure about it.

new season of Altered Carbon is out, so i'll probably check that out at some point too.....

i watched the premier of avenue 5, i liked it, so i'll probably try to get back to that one day too.....

a couple that have been on the list, but i haven't gone back to...Tin Star on Prime, The MOrning Show on apple....

so, LSS, only really watching Outsider, BCS and dispatchers. everything else is TBD

Welp, much ado about nothing, it turns out:

YouTube TV strikes a deal with Sinclair for 19 sports networks, but not YES or Fox Sports West

"YouTube TV and Sinclair have struck a deal that will save live sports for most users across the country, but fans in bigger markets such as New York or Los Angeles may want to look for a different streaming TV provider.

In an announcement Thursday, Sinclair said that 19 of its 21 Fox Sports stations will continue to be carried by Google's YouTube TV, with notable exceptions being the YES Network in New York, and Fox Sports West and Prime Ticket in LA."

I've been watching the Peyton's Places series. It's really good.

Also, I'm 2 or 3 episodes into The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez...absolutely heart-breaking and rage-inducing.

Thanks for mentioning these...Altered Carbon looks interesting. Can't get into Avenue 5 myself. What is BCS?
