[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1488382, member: 7999"] Not just light bullets. Light bullets that retain the same weight regardless of impact are much different than any high fragmenting of any weight. Bullets that disintegrate after impact are a problem waiting to happen. May never happen to you, but it happens all to often. We had spectacular results from a 116g .257 cal in Africa. Took impala, blesbuck, warthog, zebra, wildebeest, and an 1800lb trophy eland. Shot through the leg bone just above the elbow. Shattered the huge bone and went through the front of the lungs and lodged in the brisket on the far side. This bullet deformed exactly the same as the 1st shot that was frontal (no bone) that traveled through 5' Of eland and was recovered in the small intestine. You could not tell the two apart. That eland traveled about 40y in a half circle after the 1st shot. The leg shot was for insurance on a wobbling eland. Steve [/QUOTE]
