[QUOTE="RYEWSKY25284, post: 1754257, member: 76586"] This may fall outside of your question only because you are noting bullets of 140gr and up. In my case yes, I have seen it. I have done it. About 20 years ago I had loaded some .257 Weatherby 87gr Sierra Blitz King bullets for an Antelope hunt in Wyo. (I don't remember the recipe) about 3700FPS On a 300yrd heart/lung shot. Bullet blows up on the ribcage leaving and external mess. The bullets lead core made it between the ribs doing some internal damage. The Antelope traveled about 200yrds going from a high speed run to a slow walk and then fell over. After close examination, a tiny piece of lead hit a large vein in the lung and it bled out on the run. This was the result a poor bullet selection and not understanding bullet construction. [/QUOTE]
