[QUOTE="Eagleye242, post: 1754620, member: 111043"] I, too, have experienced bullet disintegration on a game animal. I was shooting a 270 Winchester, and a 140 grain Hornady interlock (BTSP) handled that graphed 2990 avg mv. I shot a 4x4 Whitetail buck at 80 yards, quartering slightly towards me. Tucked the bullet just into the inside shoulder slightly. You can imagine my surprise when he jumped, then ran about 80 yards. Then he stopped briefly, so I drove another one into his chest. He then obliged by dropping. Autopsy: First shot had hit bone and shattered, with no part entering the vitals. I found pieces of the jacket down in his flank, and the surface wound was the size of a luncheon plate. I have shot well over 100 head of game, from deer to Bison with Nosler Partitions, and have never had one fail to do the job. Dave. [/QUOTE]
