[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 2857488, member: 23175"] When we as hunters choose a bullet in a complete cartridge or a component to hand load, we get to choose the characteristics that we want. If complete pass through is a high priority to the hunter, they should never choose a cup and core, but rather a monolithic or bonded bullet. But then there is a risk for penciling with minimum wound channel and decreased tissue damage. My bullet characteristic priorities for medium to light skinned animals is rapid death. So I choose cup and core to maximize internal damage. I understand that I may not get an exit hole, and I need to stay off the shoulder bone at closer range (higher impact velocities). I know you understand this, and you prioritize having an exit wound. But I’m writing this hopefully for some other readers who may not fully understand the different bullet types and their terminal performance characteristics. [/QUOTE]
