[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2330003, member: 117774"] A good many bullets tumble after impact and the result is not always bad. And the release of petals to add wound channels is nearly always a good thing. At least some of them will strike a vital part of the animal and provide a lethal result. Personally I like a entrance and exit hole and a wound cavity of 3 to 5 inches in diameter from start to finish. The pure copper bullets that remain in one piece have provided that for me and I've used them exclusively for the past 15 years. I closely examine every animal I take as well as the others that my hunting party takes and have found that the solid copper bullets to perform best for me. The lead bullets that shed 30 to 50 percent of their weight at the entrance site can produce spectacular knock down results, but also result in massive amounts of bloodshot meat. And sometimes poor penetration can occur from non bonded lead bullets. I've seen an older design nosler partition literally dissintegrate on a slight uphill shot on a mouflon ram at 300 yds from a 140 gr 7mm partition. [/QUOTE]
