[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1754340, member: 65116"] When I was on the farm we kill sick cows with a 22LR. at times the bullet would "melt" on impact with the skull and not penetrate beyond the hide. I have shot 22-250 rounds with 40g HP bullets in a high twist barrel and have them disintegrate about 30 yards out of the barrel. My 358 Winchester shooting 200g RN Gamekings make a 1" entry hole and a LARGE exit hole in White Tail deer. The entry is caused by the round nose literally boiling the water in the tissue and blowing up part of that tissue along with some of the round nose lead I suppose, but the bullet definitely continues into the body and makes a mess of the organs and then exits leaving a hole maybe 5" in diameter in the ribcage and hide. The really fast bullets with HP or lead tips surely melt on impact. [/QUOTE]
