[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2401386, member: 10755"] Yes. Half a dozen times with the same bullet in two different calibres. Most often the cause was a failure to expand sufficiently or at all beyond a certain yardage and the other was failing to penetrate after detonating on the hide at close range. Both of these instances were Berger OTM in 30 and 33 cal. In all instances the ranges shot were extremely close, 10 yards or less, or extremely far, at or beyond 1000 yards. To be honest, at the time I knew nothing about cleaning out bullet tips, pointing or trimming meplats. If this had of been done, the outcome MAY have been different. I no longer use target style bullets in game, have tried others with mixed success also. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
