[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 870794, member: 13632"] Very little meat was hit before bone, at max a couple inches, it was a hard hit and I knew it would be but I wanted to see exactly what it would do with that kind of hit, especially after seeing the bullet not open on a 2x6 and a dirt pile at a grand. I do suspect they will open well if I stick one through the ribs which I will but I wanted to get as broad a function test as I could and a hard bone hit like the point of the shoulder or neck is part of that. I don't think annealing would do anything to these bullets, they are very soft already, you have to be careful with them or you can damage the tips, if you drop a bullet on the concrete while loading them it's toast they are that soft.
