[QUOTE="Spoonman, post: 2402150, member: 117929"] Most “bullet failures” happen when they are at ranges they weren’t intended to perform at. The only thing I’ve seen happen was I shot a bear at 75 yards with a 180 ttsx out of a 300rum (3280fps) and it penciled right through. I recovered him a ways later. That being said I’ve never not had that same setup open up as intended on all my other kills (200 yards and farther). So was it a failure or was the bullet simply not made to open up at such high velocity? The latter is the correct answer. [/QUOTE]
