[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 660569, member: 13833"] That's exactly why you want to try to hit the shoulder when the velocity is down. In fairness though, a tree, (wood) will tend to hold a bullet together even if it has a thinner skin! I think it is because the bullet can't exert enough outward force to allow it to expand as it would in softer tissue. I have shot some pretty flimsy jacketed bullets through "a lot" of wood at high and low velocity. If the bullet remains in the wood, it will almost always be quite intact even though the same bullet would explode in water, for example. Try a Berger, in both cases, at high velocity and see what happens:)...rich [/QUOTE]
