[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2414552, member: 30902"] Not a good plan and not even legal in most states for medium or large game. FMJ's have a nasty habit of "bending" into something of a banana shape causing them to tumble badly and fail to track straight through. Solids that we shoot at dangerous game are different, the tips are blunted normally but the bullets are somewhat egg shaped. The flat point ensures a really big pressure wave ahead of the bullet but it tracks straight through because of the rounded or conical front section. Good mono's and bonded bullets will expand consistently giving us the widest possible cross section and still track straight through the body because of their length. Much like the RNFP Dangerous Game Bullet they will punch bone with controlled, consistent expansion if we do our part and consider the impact velocities that bullet is designed for and adjust the ranges we shoot at accordingly giving them every opportunity to perform as designed and intended.
