Bullistic tips in the last 10 years are just as good as anything for penetration. I know back in the 80's, they expanded violently.
I was giving Mossyoak33 a hard time for pushing a Bt 3200fps in a 7mm and telling him I would be leary of a shoulder shot, but he shot thru a shoulder and out the back of the lungs. And this was in a 200+ whitetail.
