[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2427734, member: 30902"] I've shot everything from Duiker to Buffalo with them in everything from 6.5mm-375cal. Never had a problem with performance with them period. Because of their proprietary tip and patented opening that steps down they always open for me at impact speeds over 1,700fps. The one coyote I shot at ridiculous range with the 300 Rum with an impact speed of around 1,200 even had a larger than caliber sized exit. The only one I can tell you for sure that didn't expand, and I didn't want it to, was the one I shot an Duiker with in my buddy's 6.5x55. Now keep in mind, they will expand retaining in every case where I recovered bullets 95% or more of their weight unlike even the best cup and core bullets and usually I get an exit around the size of a golfball, maybe a bit bigger. They one thing I can tell you is that they are the most consistent bullet I've ever used. I don't take "lung shots", on Deer I either shoot for the spine or the Heart/Heart Lung Junction. I would expect shooting lungs only, especially a high lung shot that the animals would run a fair bit before cratering. In every case though where I've recovered the bullet I had a greater than caliber sized frontal section so they won't pencil through like I've seen many times with the Barnes TSX and TTSX. They also give you a considerable upgrade in MV compared to conventional bullets and other Mon's that lack the drive bands. Here's the link, it loads slowly so be patient.
