[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1686205, member: 87243"] This was my concern....it's not an animal, but I have never seen a reliably expanding bullet used for hunting NOT expand on milk jugs unless the range was extreme (beyond the bullets usable/recommended velocity). I am hoping that Barbour creek does a thorough ballistics gel test on this bullet soon to confirm one way or another. An issue may be that if the bullet does tumble, people are likely going to misinterpret that as expansion, if a bullet tumbles inside an animal it will likely do a large amount of damage, and very possibly kill quickly and possibly even exit, especially on smaller game such as pronghorn and coyotes, which tend to be common terminal test animals for bullets. This will lead people to believe that it worked well, thus giving it a thumbs up, and then the unreliability of the bullet will eventually lead to pinholes and other issues. [/QUOTE]
