As the Bloodline article explains,



That result could be beneficial for penetrating a very large thick skinned animal like a big bear or buffalo.
That was also my thinking too. Those plus the Lehighs would provide deep penetration. I was impressed that my cast 320 gr REALs performed so well. I might have to work up an accurate hunting load for them in one of my .50s.
