[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 443285, member: 2693"] And here in lies the problem. High velocity, light frangible bullet with a history of this exact problem when contacting bone. What exactly was your dad expecting? I don't mean to sound argumentative, but this is exactly what not to do with a btip. Ideally, he would have lunged this deer, deflated them, and it may have run some distance but would have been dead on its feet. Btips smaller than 30 caliber have been known to do this. They perform best when slowed down in .277. For a WSM, I agree, the AB is a better choice, and IMO, the 130 Scirocco is even better. [/QUOTE]
