[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2334449, member: 91783"] Take a little time to study the different bullets they aren't all made equally . The one pictured didn't have a bonded core so you have the core and the jacket separated . If you look at the jacket you can see that it is a relatively thick jacket . That looks to be a match bullet by the design of it , it isn't made to open up like a thinner jacketed bullet designed for varmint hunting , where the jacket will literally be blown into a bunch of small fragments as will the lead core if it is a core and cup bullet design . When you look at the different hollow point bullets say the 52 , 53 and 55 grain bullets made by Sierra the 52 and 53 grain bullets are designed for target shooting and have a smaller opening then the 55 grain bullets made for hunting as well as a thicker jacket . They will all kill it's a matter of how well they do the job by what they were designed to do and at what speed they were designed to be used at . Not all bullets of the same weight are built the same some are designed to open up and some are designed not to open up at different speeds and depth of penetration . Take a look at some 55 grain .224 diameter bullets the full metal jacket bullets , the spire point bullets and hollow point bullets . All weigh close to a given weight but are designed for differing purposes and will have different results when used in nearly the same situations . It's up to us to figure out what bullets we want to use by thinking about what they are designed for , what speed we will be driving them and what the average use we will be using them under . Study will give us a basic starting point then experience of our own and others will allow us to figure out the finer points . [/QUOTE]
