[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2187659, member: 7999"] The goal with these bullets is not expansion. There are lots of frangible, shallow penetrating bullets on the market. We just aren't interested. Our goal here is deep straight line penetration with a frontal area on the bullet that creates as much permanent wound channel as possible. In low velocity a bullet that will expand or mushroom simply won't penetrate deep enough to make things dead quickly. The cupped nose design is to try and get a bit of "squish" to full caliber on the nose. If the vel is not high enough to cause this deformation the nose shape remains the same and is very effective at causing a permanent wound. So a long way off saying the Jack Hammer is designed to make things dead that want to do you harm or make things that you want to hunt dead. [/QUOTE]
