[QUOTE="David Lindler, post: 1754735, member: 106144"] All lead/ copper bullets can and will fragment at extreme velocity or when striking heavy bone. There are a lot of guality bonded bullets and copper bullet that will retain more weight when sticking heavy bone. Thin skinned animals such as deer do not require bonded bullets at practical velocity and range. Berger bullets are designed to fragment after 4-6 inches of penetration and usually retain 40-60 percent bullet weight. Never lost a deer with one. Work well close and far. The problem with some of the bonded and copper bullets is that that fail to open up properly at longer ranges and leave poor blood trails. Then old nosler partition is designed to shed the nose of the bullet and the heavy shank provided deep penetration. Great bullet. Bullet placement is everything no matter what bullet you use. Most bullet manufacturer's can provide you with technical information about the practical range of their bullets. the pic is from a 270 130 grain Hornady SST on a mule deer shoulder bullet totally exploded, destroyed the shoulder and 200lb buck dropped in his tracks.
