[QUOTE="MZmoose, post: 1754382, member: 41085"] Yes bullets soft bullets can blow up if you exceed their velocity limitation. I've seen it numerous times. That's why i spend my money on top end controlled expansion bullets. I don't shoot past 600 yds and they work great for my ranges. But I've seen the softer long range bullets blow up at close range. They work great for their intended purpose, long range. But the last elk we shot in open country ran past my buddy at 35 yds and he put it down with a single Barnes TTSX out of a 7mm STW. We also shot a spike at 350 yds with TTSX, with the same results. A soft bullet would have worked great at 350 yds but I don't trust em at 35 yds. [/QUOTE]
