[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1005923, member: 13632"] Close range high speed impacts can be pretty explosive, put a little range on it and they settle down and performance can even up no mater the bullet. We use Berger varmint bullets in out 22-250's to shoot antelope and deer nearly every one exits and it just crushes them, even putting it through the shoulder it makes it to the far side and the chest cavity will be soup. I had a 270 WSM that I would smoke 140's out of, did awesome until the throat got shot out and then I was stressing the jackets so hard they would explode on impact or tumble. There are a things we can do or things that the rifle is doing that makes the bullet perform differently than what is typical, many stop at that and call it a bullet failure but it's worth finding the CAUSE of the perceived bullet failure. I've had many copper bullets "fail" but for the most part it's just that I'm shooting them out of there operating range which really is not a bullet failure but me just pushing it. [/QUOTE]
