[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1758851, member: 13632"] It's about physics, if a bullet has a large frontal diameter it needs more mass behind it to keep the ability to penetrate, if another bullet is able to loose the frontal diameter AND has mass to spare it will out penetrate an on side hit then continue to mushroom and cause damage continuing on. I've watched several elk take a 180 accubond dead center of the shoulder with a 300 and the bullet mushroomed big and early and blew down to the point it did not have the momentum to get through, I've watch a lot of 230 and 215 Berger's on the same shot and have yet to see one not get into the vital. The Hammer bullet is a mono that works by design for penetration by getting ride of the frontal area and getting small and blunt and then retains it's momentum, Barnes are not designed to function like this. You also have the mechanism of opening, OTM bullet open by hydraulic forcing the tip open of of then expansion can start so that's where the normal few inches of penetration comes when things are normal vs a Accubond that is opening and loosing momentum the second it hits hide then has to plow through muscle and bone.
