Steve ------- you got that right!
The 160 Ribtek is as good as it gets. The only animals I hesitated from shooting with a 160-grain Ribtek were Australian Buffalo.
Other than them, Cape Buffalo, and Rhino, I will not hesitate to use Ribteks.
The "ribs" slightly "rough up" the skin, leaving a hole instead of a slit.
The difference in the blood trail left by a hole and a slit are huge.
Way, WAY too many photos of my Ribtek kills to post. You will just have to trust me on this one. . .
