They do exactly what a bullet should do in most cases at close range. Expand to optimal size and penetrate 16" plus inches. That's all the kinetic energy your going to get out of a bullet. Pass through's are wasted energy. At longer ranges they slow down expansion and tend to penetrate deeper as do most well constructed hunting bullets do. From most of the recovered bullets from elk they have done what they should and caused lots of tissue damage.

If they had the Ogive of a Speer boattail and the plastic tip their BC would be almost unbeatable as a hunting round for long range. They are pretty close to begin with.
