[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1262395, member: 30902"] That is completely incorrect. A wad cutter by design punches a caliber sized hole straight through the target. They get the name "wad cutter" because they are designed to punch very clean holes through paper targets. The "killing power of a wadcutter" is completely mythical and without foundation in reality. It goes back to a quote used occasionally in movies/tv where someone that knew nothing about the subject was writing the script using a cute term to try and make the ammunition used sound more deadly.

The best handgun bullets I've ever seen for big hogs and other dangerous game were just a JHP that had a pointed tungsten penetrator in the center. They were fantastic but because they came under the legal definition of "cop killer bullets" they and many other really great hunting bullets of similar design got outlawed due to Hollywood and Media Hype generated by the anti gunners back in the 90's.
