[QUOTE="Aussie Hunter Steve, post: 1738616, member: 53311"] If I’m wanting to keep the pelt of a small animal it’s better if the bullet doesn’t exit and damage the hide. For larger game, especially trophy animals, I want a bullet to be built strong enough to reach the vitals regardless of the shot angle, which means the same bullet will likely exit on a broadside lung shot. Providing it has expanded sufficiently I’m fine with it exiting. Too much penetration doesn’t usually cause much an issue, but not enough penetration causes big problems. [/QUOTE]
