[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2963760, member: 4191"] Both of my recovered bullets that corkscrewed off-track had shed all petals and left with just a shank with a blunted nose. The third one exited the rear ham of a caribou. Unrecoverable, so I can't know about that corkscrewed copper mono. I wonder if an SG for the terminal performance of copper mono that shed petals shouldn't be calculated based on the length of the copper mono shank from base of bullet to the bottom of the hollow point in their tips. I suspect there's an SG based on that length of remaining copper shank that would indicate improved likelihood of straight line penetration. And the SG value would no doubt be quite high. Up in the 4.0 zone because of the reduced length of bullet shank. The remaining shank length after petals are shed. [/QUOTE]
