[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1759159, member: 13632"] First we are still talking metals, lead and copper even at soft will resist movement, and hey will definitely yield but in doing so they are removing bone and tissue with that and reducing resistance by loosing frontal area, this only works with enough bullet that you can spare some and I'm talking about getting through the initial hit on the impact side I'm not talking total penetration but the ability to get past that heavy shoulder hit. Naturally if we do something to stress the jacket and reduce the integrity more that's another subject and one we can control. I'll get a chance to find a picture that will show this, I have a steel plate with a mono bullet stuck half way through it with clean bullet holes through it from Berger and matrix bullet, while that is steel the same thing is happening on bone. Don't forget that the front of a Berger has more integrity that a tipped bullet, they are a FMJ till they pressure up and the nose opens hydraulically, to get them to open mechanically takes a LOT compared to a tipped bullet.
