[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1514728, member: 30902"] If heavy bone is likely to be an issue stick to a quality mono or bonded bullet built for the job. With most bullets shot placement is key. Most simply are not made for breaking heavy bone and penetrating the body cavity fully after doing so. With the mono's the best I've found for all purposes is the VLR4's and 5's from Peregrine along with the Hornady Interbond and Nosler Accubond. The only problem I've seen so far with other mono's is a lack of consistency. I've had to track down quite a few lung shot deer hit with Barnes TSX and TTSX that failed to expand and the same with GMX's. I have yet to see an Interbond or Accubond fail to expand except at extremely low velocity and when they failed to hit bone as well. I just won't shoot standard cup and core bullets at game anymore period as they are far too unpredictable. [/QUOTE]
