I have yet to see a 250 SST/SW recovered with evidence of no expansion. I'm waiting for someone to post that in support.
Same here. Matter of fact i have seen very, very few pictures of SST/Shockwave bullets that were recovered from game.
The 250 grain SST/Shockwave is a really good bullet. I have killed several deer and a lot of hogs with that bullet: It does the job if you put it in the right place. Most of my kills with the 250 grain SST/Shockwave have been bang flops or near bang flops.
This 250 grain Shockwave came out of a 120 pound sow that i killed at a distance of 192 laser transit measured yards. It fell out of the animal when i was loading it for the trip to the butcher. The gun was my .50 Encore and the powder charge was 90 grains of JSG. The bullet broke two ribs going in.
