11-17-09:  1,990 Pages: That was the size of the Health Care Bill as it left the House. That was pretty beefy. At 1990 it was said to be too large to read. Now that it's in the Senate, it's ballooned to 2,074 pages. It's amazing. I thought the Senate was supposed to trim things up and slim it down. Guess not. Never underestimate the Democrats ability to find hidden pork. It's like there is bacon slices between every page.

Crusader Security: I can't go into details, but Friday night, Crusader Weaponry's Tactical Training Division is doing security for a special event out in SLC. This should be fun. And it gives me a wicked idea I'll have to think about and measure the downstream.

While on the subject of this weekend... Saturday and Sunday I'll be at the Crossroads of the West Gun Show. Crusader Weaponry has a booth going on and I'll be there putting on my Billy Mays about Slipstream and Tactical Training.

MAD OGRE HERE FOR SLIPSTREAM, THE FUTURISTIC HIGH TECH FIREARM LUBRICATION SYSTEM! PUT IT ON, THE FRICTIONS GONE! ITS THE UBER LUBER! PUT IT ON RAILS, TRIGGERS, HAMMERS, AND BOLTS! IT EVEN GOES WELL ON KNIVES!

That was blatantly stolen from WTA Staffer Outbreak.

While doing this, Joe and I have much to talk about, including the Crusader Conversion Shotguns. These are going to be modified 870 Pump Actions that we can build for you or you can send your gun and have it Converted. The 870 is a great shotgun, but it is not without faults. I've some ideas to correct these faults. However I am not a Gun Smith. As luck would have it, Joe is. I think we can work out the details. Also, Joe needs an 870 of his own so while at the gun show – we will be searching for a used 870 that Joe can tinker with. There will be two versions of the Crusader Conversion Shotguns. One will be short. The Alpha. This is an entry gun. The other, bigger, more shells, decked out... The Omega. Alpha and Omega... not because of the Biblical thing but because the Alpha Dog is the first to Eat... the first through the door. The Omega is the one gun you'll want when TSHTF, end of the world scenario... the gun you'll want for the Apocalypse. The name comes from Charlton Heston's end of humanity film, The Omega Man. Not that he had a shotgun in that movie... but he should have. He should have had a Crusader Omega.

I'm going to have to kick it out of the Gun Show before 3:00PM on Sunday... then haul serious 5.7 Liter V-8 Ass back to Ogre Ranch because I'm also going to be on Armed American Radio's first 3 Hour show. Yes, the show has grown leaps and bounds in a way that few Radio shows ever do... so fast, so far... it's gone from a 1 hour show to a 3 hour show in just a matter of weeks. That's amazing. Mark Walters is a great host. Let me tell you about Mark... this is his first Radio thing. Ever. He's not a Radio Guy – He's a Trucker. He's career was Trucking... but he's really taken to this Radio thing like he was born to it... so maybe he really truly is a Radio Guy. I'll let you be the judge. Listen to the show. If you've never heard it, go to the AAR site, and you can stream the past shows.

11-16-09:  OUTRAGE: I am livid that this Administration has extended Constitutional Protections to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other terrorists and are trying them under a civilian court of law in New York. This is a slap in the face of the people of New York... and it's setting these terrorists up for a Get Out Of Jail Free Card. Here's the deal... with the protection of the US Constitution, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is INNOCENT. He is only alleged to have committed any crime. He is innocent until proven guilty. This means that if he uses in his defense that his confession was under coercion from torture – water-boarding – his confession could be tossed out. Other evidence could be tossed as having been tainted. He could – technically – walk. He could walk because he is, under the constitution, considered innocent. This is an outrage.

I remember how fast the Clinton Administration billed the OK City Bombing by a guy named Timmothy, as a terrorist act. Yet the Ft. Hood attack – “hey now, let's not jump to conclusions.” A conclusion reached by a jump doesn't necessarily mean that it was wrong. So I'm looking at 9-11-01 and I'm thinking “Terrorists”. And I'm thinking this Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is one of the guys behind it.

Nothing good can come of this trail. Nothing.

Technology and my Epic Geekness: I remember as a kid, buying computer magazines because they had programs printed in code in the back. You used to spend hours typing in that code to literally write the program into your PC. If you were lucky, you had a tape drive to save it to. If not, the program was just gone when you turned the computer off. Good old days, eh? Yeah, I didn't have a tape drive for some time. But I do remember one time, recording over a TWISTED SISTER tape to save a small program that did... something... I don't remember for sure but I think it was a Random Number Generator so I could play D&D easier. Yeah, I was a geek.

11-15-09:  I'm done with Top Gear. I've followed Top Gear, the show and the magazine for years. But I can no longer support those arrogant cocks. They've always poked at the US Car Industry and America in general... and it used to be in good humor, or with legitimate criticism that could be taken as constructive. However lately they are no longer friendly pokes, but hateful and spiteful jabs. They've become blatantly anti-American and I'm not going to tolerate it any longer. Years worth of Top Gear Magazines are going to the landfill... No... better yet, because that imbecile Clarkson believes in Global Warming so much – I'm going to burn them to heat Ogre Ranch. Clarkson's hot air is finally going to be put to use in a productive manner.... warming my hairy buttocks. This is really unfortunate because I've enjoyed Top Gear in the past, as long as they just shut up with the America Bashing. I don't have time for that crap anymore.

I've been running a Mossberg 930 SPX semi-auto shotgun as of late. I'm very impressed. The gun patterns well, and shoots with, so far, perfect reliability. As far as a tactical shotgun goes, this is perhaps the best bang for the buck. The ghost ring sight with a fiber optic front, with good adjustments to dial in your slugs, good capacity, and an action that is surprisingly smooth. It was pretty good to begin with, but after the first time I shot it, I had to do something. I stripped it down and treated the whole thing to Slipstream. The result is that I've got a Mossy 930 SPX that is smoother than the FNH SLP shotgun which costs almost twice as much. Now, I'll be honest... I'm not completely sold on the gun here... my hang up is that I'm a die hard 870 fan and I prefer the pump action for a defensive shotgun. With an 870, reliability is unquestionable. With the 930SPX, reliability raises a question in the back of my mind. How reliable is it? So far, very. But at what point does it fail is where my concern is. I've fired many different shells through the SPX and I've yet to find a load that it wont digest. I've yet to make the thing jam unless I purposely made it jam by loading it improperly so I can see how to un-jam it. The Mossberg has truly impressed me so far. I've used other auto-shotguns in the past, but this is the only one that I've personally owned. Again, I'm more comfortable with a Pump Action. But the SPX makes for a great and affordable Auto argument.

President Obama needs to stop it. He shouldn't bow to anyone.

11-12-09:  I didn't say anything about Veterans Day because I didn't know how to articulate my feelings this year... not about Vets, but about America's Treatment of Vets. Our Boys have been ignored, scoffed at, mocked, prosecuted, and then used as a political stooge by this administration. Obama has been unable to make decisions regarding the use of the military while the military is actively engaged in a shooting war.... yet this ignorant juvenile punk of a President has time to go pimp Chicago for the Olympics, go pick up his awarded, yet undeserved, unearned Nobel Peace Prize, go bowling, and do whatever the hell he feels like... and blows off his own Generals, and has members of his administration accuse Former Members of the Military of being Potential Terrorists... and then when we get a real Terrorist Attack on US Troops on a US Base – he has to give his Shout Outs and then tells us not to Jump To Conclusions. Sorry, but my Conclusions have been long time formulated. Mr. President... You've gone “Full Retard”.

The Armed American Radio show on the 22^nd, I believe... is AAR's first Full 3 Hour Broadcast. I'll be On Air, Massad Ayoob will be on air as well... and Mas is a hard act to follow. Let me tell you... Mas has it going on for Radio... he has that deep God-Like Radio Voice, and speaks in such a way that you can not possibly articulate an opposing argument... because Mas Said. That's it. Mas Said. There is no more argument – no more debate – Mas Said. Since Jeff Cooper passed away – we've kinda been looking for the Next Colonel Cooper, the head man in the Gun Industry that speaks with the authority of the Gun Owners Collective Wisdom. Some guys might say Clint Smith... some guys might say whoever... but I think Massad Ayoob takes the crown.
Jeff Cooper was a remarkable man. Love him or hate him, he was unique. He was a true Renaissance Man. He had culture and grace and dignity and refinement that just went far beyond... He reinvented the use of the Hand Gun, he raced sports cars... he lived his life well, and he has been missed... his legacy carries on and I recommend all young men to read his books. Now, Massad doesn't have that broad cultural experience that Cooper had... but Massad has a different attribute set that makes him remarkable in his own right. Few if any are as Educated in the matter of the Use of Force. No one is as studied in the subject of Defense as Mas. From the effective use of the gun as a weapon to the legal ramifications of Self Defense... Mas is the guy to turn to. I hold Mr. Ayoob in high regard. Let's put it this way... I've never skipped one of Massad Ayoob's articles.

There is a horrible Web Comic that I've been following for a very long time and have never linked to. It's rather adult, not for kids at all... but sometimes makes me laugh into my Dr. Pepper till I feel the fiz coming out of my nose. Least I Could Do. If you are easily offended – this will offend you. If you are thick skinned, this will, at some point, offend you to. There is no reason I should be following it. But I do.

11-10-09:  Our friend Marcus Wynne, author and warrior, posted a comment on my Facebook page that rings with ultimate truth that goes back to the age of the Samurai. “The true warrior is motivated first and foremost by love; it's expressed in the willingness to go in harm's way on the behalf of others, and to take the consequences of that choice upon themselves.”

Amen, Marcus. You hit the nail on the head, brother. A warrior must know that beauty of that which he defends. In order to defend it better, he must appreciate it, embrace it. I've always believed that, and I am pleased to see that I am not alone.

BTW, I've read all three of his books and they are excellent. The hit hard, pulling no punches... We look forward to his next one which is awaiting publication.

We've got Slipstream going out to a number of Gun Shops. We are working on a good dealer program for that. We're also working on a newer formula for the oil. The initial oil that I tested was thick. We got the precision needle oilers and needed to thin it a little. Well, the thinner stuff just isn't as good... so we are going back to the thicker profile and are going to use a thicker needle tip to accommodate it. It's important that we get this – just right – because this stuff has to be The Best. Even in the thinner form, it is. It is the best. But we can make it better, and we will. With this stuff going out on the shelves, and with Crusader having a booth at this upcoming Crossroads of the West Gun Show – I'm going to be there, Joe is going to be there... and we are going to be showing this stuff off, testing it out, and selling it. So it's got to be FLAT OUT AWESOME. Oh – it is... and it will be... so mark it on your calendars and get your ticket coupons to get in to that Gun Show. Slipstream is great stuff – and I'm not pushing it because I'm making money on it – I've Not Made One Cent off of Slipstream. I'm being honest here, I've not made a penny from it. I'm pushing it because the stuff WORKS. Dead serious here – Slipstream is the slickest weapon lubricant you can get – or could ever get. Of all the lubricants known to science, this stiff is the slickest. Buy the Kit so you get the Oil and the Grease and use them both in your guns. Some of my guns like just oil... some of my guns like a little grease on the rails... each gun is different. So try it out, find the best combination for your guns and I promise – your guns will never be happier. You can FEEL the difference... and what you feel from cycling the weapon by hand – you will really feel the difference when you shoot. You gun will function better, smoother, and it will be more reliable because of that.

11-08-09:  Frosty's for Firearm Trainers: Let's organize a little drive. You know how you come across these coupons for Free Frosty's from Wendy's? Every time you find a Free Frosty Coupon – Send it to Travis Haley and Chris Costa at Magpul. PO Box 17697, Longmont, Colorado 80308-0697 Better yet, get a whole book of them...  Not for Fries or a Drink... Just Frosty's. Lets see how many we can get over there.

I am deeply disappointed in our Congress. 220 votes For this insane health care bill, 215 votes against. It came down to 5 votes difference. 5. Pretty evenly divided bill. We had 1 Republican who voted for the Health Care Bill. The one Republican that voted for it – how surprised are we that it was that punk from LA riding on the Katrina handouts, playing to the Democrat base, and selling out over a bill he never read. How many of these “Law Makers” actually read the bill? Almost 2 thousand pages of travesty, and probably not a single person in Congress has actually read the thing. We are not going to know the depth of this disaster for months to come. This was Legislative Terrorism. This was Congressional Thuggery. The Democrats ignored Voters and pushed through their Communist Agenda and they need to pay for this. Because America can not pay for this bill. Every time America seems to be gaining ground on the Economy, these Jackholes on Capital Hill kick us back down and do everything they can to crush the American Economy. In return, we should crush them. I've said it before... and it's all the more valid now – but THANK GOD that the mechanism for this is written into the Constitution. We can VOTE these evil thugs out of Washington and we can VOTE to fix this mess. We can and we will. But it takes people to actually get out and VOTE and not bitch and whine about how they don't need to. That's how the system works – we VOTE. We don't need to raise arms or throw molotovs or overturn cars like other countries... we just need to VOTE.

ARM OUR SOLDIERS: The Anti-Gun Crowd is using Ft. Hood as a leverage against Gun Rights. I've had feedback that POLICY states that Soldiers give up certain Rights when they Enlist. And if a Civilian goes on a US Base, they give up some rights too... such as the Second and Fourth... Okay. That's fine, that might be the Policy, but clearly Ft. Hood shows us that nothing good comes from that ignorant Policy. Every Soldier swears an Oath to Protect and Defend... and at Ft. Hood they couldn't defend themselves, let alone us, from just 1 Terrorist. Because they were unarmed. Policy. That stupid Policy cost American Soldiers their lives. Policy... how's that working for you? The way I see it, we give our soldiers the tools by which to stand by their Oaths. EVERY soldier in Uniform and out of Uniform should always have a weapon on them as a symbol of that Oath. Every soldier should have a knife and a gun. They graduate Basic Training, they are given a handgun.... whatever the current issue pistol is... they are issued that handgun, a holster, some spare magazines, and ammo to fill those magazines. They should also be given a full sized fixed bladed knife. They wear the gun on their strong side, knife on their weak side. Every Solider. Every Airman. Every Marine, and Every Sailor. And they are to have those on them at all times – even off base. Because just because a Soldier is off duty – their Oath doesn't go away. Just because they are in the mess hall, their oath doesn't go away. Our soldiers were just as helpless as those high school students at Columbine. Because of Policy.

11-06-09:  I've been offline for a couple of days. Let me clear this out and I know some guys are going to be upset... because I didn't contact them. But I needed to spend some quality time with my brother in SLC, just me and him. Then I had a meeting with Mark Walters of Armed American Radio who flew out from Georgia. Next time I'm out there – I'm bouncing with all my friends, we'll shoot guns, eat good food, and kick it. But this time was dedicated – and too short. My brother, Z, is a good man. Out of the Military and completely on his own now. Graduated College with a major in History and Art. He's a smart guy. Great guy. Needs a job – Any job. He's in SLC... so if you know anyone that needs an Ex-Military College Grad Historian Artist – let me know. We did some stuff and went to see Zombieland. More on that later.
The next day, I dropped him off with our Cousin and they went to see a Rob Zombie concert, and I hooked up with Mark at the Radisson in downtown SLC. He had some business to attend to and then we sat down for some serious discussion over some serious food. The Radisson had some slow roasted buffalo going on that was absolutely amazing. We had a great conversation about the radio show and some other things and got the ball rolling on a new project for me. More on that in the future – a not too distant future either. It's a fast tracked project that I'm pretty damn jazzed about.

Hanging out with Mark was pretty damn cool. Great guy. And if you listen to him on the radio – he's the same guy in person. He's not putting on a persona for the radio show. You are getting the real Mark. If you are not getting Armed American Radio in your area – you can tune into the live stream and listen to it – or you can hit it from iTunes or just off AAR's website. It's good stuff. It really is. This week, I'll be calling in going over some stuff with Mark, Kathy Jackson is calling in and she'll be the guest for the first hour, and then Suzanna Hupp will be on.

Also – if you are not getting Armed American Radio in your area... find out who the Station Manager/Program Director is of your local radio station – and tell them that you want AAR for the full show on Sunday Nights. Then have your friends do the same thing. If they get a bunch of requests for the fastest growing radio show in the country – they'll pick it up and you'll be able to listen live.

Zombieland: Just about the most amusing film I've seen in some time. It's going to go down in history with Shaun of the Dead as one of the top Zombie Comedies. Actually... to be honest. I think it was better than Shaun of the Dead. It was clever, it had some charms, and it was touching to me in one part. Great film. It almost makes you look forward to the Zombie Apocalypse.

Ft. Hood: Threats and plots against Ft. Dix were thwarted. Strike One. Threats and plots against Ft. Bragg were thwarted. Strike Two. Now after those two warnings... and after having this guy under investigation... after all the warning signs this guy was putting out... we miss the obvious and he nails us. How did we drop the ball so bad on this one? First off – when we have Dix and Bragg being targeted, how did we not take threats against US Bases seriously? An Army Base – with our Politically Correct policy that has almost everyone completely unarmed puts the average American Solider on the same footing as a Student of Columbine. With plots against Dix and Bragg – a plot actually getting traction was only a matter of time. What could we do? I'm about to flip out... some of the talk radio bullshit that I've heard – “where was the Armed Response?” Come on. A uniformed armed responder got there in 4 minutes. That's pretty fast considering the size of Ft Hood. But why do Soldiers need to wait for someone else to come save them? They are SOLDIERS for hells sake. We don't need police about Reaction Teams. The policy we need is that EVERY SOLDIER BE ALWAYS ARMED. Armed with the two weapons they are given at their time of Boot Camp Graduation... a good sized Fixed bladed Knife and a Pistol. Those two weapons being required to be on their person at all times as part of their uniform. Regardless of Rank or MOS or Title or any other consideration – if they are a part of the Armed Forces, they wear the Knife and Gun. Do this – and this instance at Ft. Hood would never happen again. When when we learn that we should not wait for tragedy before we allow weapons to protect ourselves with? How come we can not trust our soldiers with weapons in garrison yet we give them all kinds of weapons over there? “You can have that Machinegun – but you can't have it here.” Bullshit.

And what's even worse bullshit... our President. He spend several minutes doing his Shout Out's before the Press Conference about his reaction to the news. That was not the actions of a man who was concerned one little bit about the people at Ft. Hood. I remember when Bush was given the bad news about 9-11-01... he remained calm. Spent two minutes to finish up with the school kids so they were not alarmed, and then went and took care of business. And the Liberals gave Bush hell for that for years. Yet here is Obama, doing some “Shout Out's”, goofing off, and being a Dillweed while we have US Soldiers, on US Soil, on a US Military Base dying. Obama has send us a very clear message. He doesn't give a Damn. He can't make a decision on Afghanistan – our men our dying over there too. And he doesn't give a damn. What does he give a damn about? The Press. Jon Stewart. His Shout Out's. I'm so disgusted by Obama. He should be ashamed of himself... if he had any shame. Obama is a charlatan.

Let me tell you... its so good to have my truck running again... it's like an old friend is back. Without it, it felt like I was missing a leg or something. It's a psychological thing... but I just have to have wheels ready to roll when I need to go. I feel trapped without them.

11-02-09:  The way a pistol feels in the hand is one of the most important aspects of selecting a handgun. The interface between the tool and the user is more important that the name of the maker. Brand isn't an attribute if that brand doesn't fit you. Caliber doesn't matter if because of a poor fit, you can't put that caliber into where it needs to go. One pistol that has surprised me, is the Beretta Vertec. We have a few fake guns in the shop to display some tactical lights. One of those is a Vertec model. It fits my hand amazingly well and points incredibly naturally. It feels good in the hand like few other handguns. One other handgun that feels great, is another Beretta, the Storm. It's one of my favorites. It's also highly under-rated. Too many guys pass over the Storm in favor of other pistols that just don't have the style the Beretta has.

Holster: One holster I picked up recently has surprised me. A Blackhawk Serpa Sportster. 26 bucks. It's a simple plastic paddle type with the Serpa lock system. You know, I like it. It's a solid buy, comfortable, light weight, easy to draw from, easy to holster, locks on the belt very securely, and carries the pistol very well. I got one for my SIG P229, and I'm very pleased with it. Now, the Sportster isn't a great rig... it's far from perfect... but it's a very good one for most purposes outside of Concealment. And it's made in the USA. Its the best 26 bucks you can spend for your handgun. If they have one for your pistol, get one.

I had the chance to shoot a unique rifle today. A Steyr .308 tactical rifle. It's a sweet rifle for the crazy dollars they ask for it... but the fact is... my Savage 10FCP will flat out shoot it. The scope on the Steyr was a S&B Tactical... my Vortex offers just as much clarity and brightness, with better magnification. Looking at that Steyr set up, with the scope... and with my package compared to it... crazy. Now, I liked some things about the Steyr... one, the trigger. The trigger was fantastic. Two, was the magazine. 10 rounds, easy to load, and easy to insert and remove. Also, the folding stock. Most importantly, that magazine. Savage has a good magazine, but you can't top load it, and it only holds 4 rounds. The Savage really needs a better magazine and I suggest they look hard at the Steyr.

11-01-09:  Finally some good news. A local fellow has a 95 Ford Explorer that has a newly rebuild engine. It's four wheel drive. It's in great shape. Mechanically, it's like it's almost brand new. The 95 Explorer already has a great reputation for reliability, and this one being completely redone by one of the best mechanics in the region... looks like this will the perfect option. Monday, this will become Mrs. Ogre's new rig. The Pontiac Montana has a blown head. Again. So all the new parts and everything... I don't even want to think about it. So here is what we are going to do... there is another family out here with a Pontiac Montana that can't afford to fix theirs either. We are going to give the Shop this Montana so they can use all our new parts to get theirs running. Any parts left over, we are going to try to sell to the junk yard. What I would love to do – is take the van out to a secure location – fill it with explosives – and blow it the hell up. I want to do this. This week I'll be contacting county authorities to see about getting a permit for this. Now, the last day we drove this Montana, it was the first day of the year that it snowed here. The road was slick but not too bad because the tires are good. Well, it wasn't too bad until we got into town and for some reason the road was extremely slick. There were four accidents on one stretch. One of them quite bad. I was driving the Van very carefully, and I almost had two accidents when I touched the brakes and had zero effect on speed. I was going slow, but that made no difference. So I dove the van into the shoulder and was able to slow it down in time... so we were fine... but it was close those two times. The Montana is just so heavy and unbalanced... and its not four wheel drive. This made me think. This winter is predicted to be quite nasty. Having the wife driving this Explorer just might prove to be a life saver this Winter.

We still don't know about my Truck.

Bullet reports: I've talked with some individuals who are professional hunting guides and game processors. We've talked bullet effects and placement and what bullets really put the smackdown on the game.

First up, the Federal Fusion. Every report has these rounds doing everything very well. What these rounds are, are simply Federals Mid Grade load. The loading is much like their Premium stuff when it comes to consistency. Very consistent, but instead of using their expensive bullets, they are using a more reasonably priced lead core bullet with a bonded jacket. The lead is pretty soft so the bullet expands very well and with the bonding process, there is no loss of weight. These rounds in every caliber, simply work.

Next is from Winchester. Their new XP3 stuff. It's a copper bullet with a ballistic tip, deep cavity, and a small lead core. This bullet, at least in the 7mm, performs very well. One report has it turning internal organs into jelly. These loads are rather spendy, but when you turn the organs of an elk into jelly at 630 yards... that's impressive. Dropped the elk dead right there.

The most impressive reports are big game nailed with the Berger VLD-Hunting bullets. These are the bullets favored by the Best of the West crew... However, the guy that cuts their Game reported that these rounds have proven to be the the most consistent with excellent penetration... Consensus is that these are the best you can use. If you are reloading, this is the bullet of choice.

The Hornady SST is another top choice, which the shock effect doing horribly nasty things to big game, with internal organs looking like a horror show.

Time and time again, the Barnes Triple Shock has proven to be disappointing. The bullets either do not expand wide enough or they don't expand soon enough. I think Barnes needs to evaluate their cavity geometry.

So let me line this up... 1. Berger VLD-Hunting. 2. Hornady SST. 3. Federal Fusion. 4. Winchester XP3. These are from all reports, the best bullets for hunting big game... and by Big Game I am meaning Elk and Mule Deer. Now, I work the gun counter at the 4^th largest Gun Dealer in Utah... so take this for what it's worth. But its worth noting. We can talk calibers later. No... let's talk calibers now. For the calibers that are dropping the animals the fastest... there are two cartridges that stand out. First one is the .257 Weather Magnum. I've glassed elk and watched the hit... and the Elk don't even take a second step when the bullet hits the vitals. Second, the 7MM Rem Mag... Serious Smack Down. These two cartridges lay them out.

Now, I've heard guys call the 7 Rem Mag the 7MM Crippler, but when pressed it becomes apparent that bullet selection was incorrect for the game hunted. Super heavy Accubonds and other bullets just don't deliver the shock... they instead just stab straight through and exit before they open up. This goes with every popular caliber. To get the best results, you have to pick the right bullet for the job and you have to put that bullet where it's going to strike vitals. Pretty much, vital organs are called vital for a reason.
