[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1519566, member: 54383"] I think you should give them a try. They do hold together. The way I explain them is the shed the front of the bullet like a lead based to give the massive internal trauma of the lead. That happens down to the base of the drilled hole. Then it becomes much like a solid and will continue through. Same concept for the cutting edge and hammers. So this could put it in perspective. I hunt mainly with a 300blk. 100gr driven at 2550 fps. I have shot very large whitetail from Kansas and Michigan at all kinds of weird angles. Never been able to catch the shank. Have caught the petals in the animal but never the shank. I’ve also shot several hundred pigs with them. Some as large as 250-260 lbs. again never caught the base shank. That’s all with a relatively under powered cartridge. Imagine what the larger more powerful cartirde can do. Just look how much it took for Steve to catch a bullet in that eland. Those are incredibly thick hide large animals. [/QUOTE]
