[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2898615, member: 109862"] not trying to be argumentative! But if bullets like Berger vlds, hornady eld match, and sierra TMKs aren’t supposed to be called “frangible” in regards to their terminal behaviour what should we call them? Fragmenting and frangible are synonyms. I suppose at the end of the day semantics is everything, sort of like what makes a varmint bullet a varmint bullet or, for that matter, a hunting bullet a hunting bullet. Whether that’s calling coal a diamond I don’t know, but i do know that “varmint bullets” have been used to take big game, big game bullets have been used to take varmints, “match“ bullets are in some cases more effective killers than “hunting bullets”, and whether you want to call them frangible or not the bullets i mentioned earlier do come apart, sometimes completely, and may or may not exit but exit wounds are not what they’re designed to provide. They don’t hold together because they’re not meant to. [/QUOTE]
