[QUOTE="thwatson2, post: 1754288, member: 56839"] I think you should watch a long range sharps competition. Probably one on YouTube if none in your area. When a 45 cal 540 grain lead bullet hits steel, a shower Of lead sprays out and down. Basically it’s energy dissipated. Same concept happens when a ballistic tip fragments (not explodes). You loose energy quickly and therefore less of shock to animals system. Not sure this helps but explosion is an increase of destruction from an energy source, fragmentation is a loss of energy from an already depleting source. Depending on animal we have choices of bullets to prevent such fragmentation but most everything has a flaw or so [/QUOTE]
