[QUOTE="wv270wsm, post: 1754693, member: 96251"] The only true exploding bullet I’ve ever witnessed was out of my 444. It was a 240 gr Hornady shot a big doe at 40 yards hit her on the shoulder. I’ll guarantee she would have died without the second shot but I shot her the second time to end the suffering. She’d ran roughly 100 yards bleeding like a stuck hog . The said shoulder was an open wound roughly the size of a dinner plate. Absolutely nasty . The bullet never penetrated through the shoulder just a massive flesh wound . The 444 pushes those bullets to hard to be reliable. In my opinion. I’ve since stepped up to Speer 270 gr deep curls with better results. A little tougher and more reliable at that speed [/QUOTE]
