[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1983295, member: 10755"] Bullets behave differently penetrating heavy bone...this is why solids are needed for brain shots on Elephant for RELIABLE kill shots. Sure, a heavily constructed soft will kill an Elephant when everything is perfect, but what happens when it’s not ‘perfect’? Anyway, have seen many bullets tumble on head shots. We used to experiment when euthanising horses, bullets also don’t go in straight lines. We would find them in the spine, off to either side, even in the hip of a couple. The direction they would deviate in could never be predicted, some would turn mildly, others would go up or down at extreme angles as well as to the right or left or somewhere in between. The 416 410gr soft or solids seemed to go the straightest and they were the ones found in the hips of 2 horses, exceptional penetration. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
