[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1241929, member: 7999"] Very interesting. We just had a customer harvest a deer with our 101g blackout bullet loaded in a 308win. He is running the bullet at very high vel near 3400fps. He shot a deer in the shoulder at 60y with violent results and not much penetration. The recovered bullet was just under 70% retention. We designed this bullet to open at low vel. His impact vel had to be at least 3200fps. I am chalking this one up to high impact speed, low sectional density, with a large hollow point to quickly start expansion. Rich, These things don't line up with what you just had happen. To my thinking a bullet that does not stay on path after impact in under stabilized. It could possibly be due to the bullet loosing so much of its weight that the remainder was so oddly shaped that it could not maintain direction. I think it shed so much weight on impact that it lost all of its sectional density. Steve [/QUOTE]
