I'm not opposed to using a rifle bullet,but won't a bonded pistol bullet achieve the same thing if kept below 2400 fps? Sometimes there's too much info.-Don't ya know!

Either of the bullets will contain the separation part fairly well. It is still my belief that the Deep Curl with the dot will give better performance in controlling the expansion of the bullet. Again providing more hydrostatic shock and penetration in a animal...

If a bullet gets to large to quick it will do in penetration.

This picture shows the controlled expansion of a Nosler partition recovered from an elk...



This is the animal



Now I know it is not a Gold Dot/Deep Curl but the Deep Curls acts on the same principle and in away tries to mimmick the Nosler.

This is a ballistic sheet for a load that I shoot from my Knight...
