[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1758443, member: 92702"] I have not shot either of those. I do know they should hold together in most cases. This type of bullet in general doesn't blood shot as much meat as a regular cup and core unless you hit heavy bone at close range. Then the shattered bone becomes secondary projectiles and can cause quite the mess. My first guess is I wouldn't want to be shot with either of those out of an edge. Going up to a .338 gives you some cushion that the smaller calibers just don't have. My guess is the 252's would penetrate nearly as well as a cup and core 300, but that is only a guess. I highly suspect it is enough gun for anything in N America that gets on the wrong end of it. If it is not, run like crazy the other way. You have just PO'd one bad animal. [/QUOTE]
