But on the other hand it's the close shots where the bullet is traveling alot faster and the impact doesn't have that energy displacement. It just zip's right through, it kills them sure but I get alot better knock downs at 200 plus yards then up close.
If this stament is true, then you better find your self a better designed bullet!!!! Notice i said BULLET not caliber!!
Most bullets have the problem of expanding TOO FAST at close range, and this why i like Nosler partitions so much! The nose blows off fairly easily even at longer ranges, (slower speeds) and also expands well in smaller lightly constructrd animials. YET, the rest of the bullet drives on in deep even if the velocity is still high, or you hit a lot of bone and muscle!!!
I use to design and mfg. (swage) std. core and bonded core bullets, but to this day i still like Nosler partitions best!
