[QUOTE="barefooter56, post: 1196222, member: 85389"] Broz reported going something like 26 and 0 with the 215 target hybrid in his 300 WM so I dont think he had any issues with the bullet. The target bullets leave a small wound channel and left , i believe he described it as a "golf ball sized hole exit wound". With the hunting bullets and their thinner jackets. The front half or so of the bullet slumps over and comes apart AFTER the bullet has penetrated 2-5 inches. The shrapnel caused by this shreds the vitals causing severe hydro-static shock to the animal and usually instant incapacitation. Because of this all the force of the bullet is applied to the animal and rarely do you see "through and through" shots. In most cases what is thought to be an exit wound is actually a part or parts of the bullet jacket exiting. So the Hunting bullets really don't expand per se. With the target bullets I dont believe we have seen on thats been recovered after leaving the animal. I think Broz MAY have a picture of a 215 target he recovered in an animal but its been so long since I read the string I really cant say for sure. At close range these results MAY vary due to excessive velocity. [/QUOTE]
