[QUOTE="Almondgrower, post: 1661143, member: 106582"] Target Bullets normally have much thicker jackets to resist deformation while in the barrel making it a much higher chance of not opening up and transferring energy . I agree with the common sense part of using a bullet correctly that’s the only reason I posted . A fragmenting bullet turning vitals to jelly is dead animal for sure but this is based on a worst case of a misplaced shot at no fault of the shooter. A large bull elk hit in the shoulder next to a deep canyon ....... pretty good chance it could splat on the shoulder blade and the bull runs into the timber with a broken leg at best maybe to b found maybe not . A bonded or solid would more the likely punch threw , ( or at least give a better chance of ) breaking down the entire front end and allow game to be collected. Remember , this is worst case and assuming the bullet/cartridge/distance is all correct . That’s why I agree for sure about common sense [/QUOTE]
