[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1755163, member: 96226"] Some bullets are DESIGNED to go completely to pieces on impact. Why should it not be believable that bullets designed to expand less violently might not under some impact conditions exceed their design thresholds for staying intact. The difference between a bullet coming clean apart and not doesn't have to be a vast canyon. I shot this jack rabbit from around 10 feet with an AR-15 with 18" barrel with a single Barnes Varmint Grenade in .223 (IIRC they were 55gr). It completely gutted the thing for me. I never touched a knife to the animal. You can see the entrance hole in the shoulder. The bullet did not exit the other side.
