[QUOTE="Tommo64, post: 1764661, member: 107976"] I believe a good hunting bullet, for use on medium to large game, should have controlled expansion and weight retention across a range of velocities. These will usually be monos or jacketed bullets with a bonded core or interlock ring in most cases. Match grade bullets generally aren't built this way. They may work on game depending on the circumstances but they are not designed for that use. In this case I'm guessing the shoulder shot resulted in bullet and bone fragments destroying the vitals. If it had entered soft tissue, the bullet may well have passed right through without a clean kill. [/QUOTE]
