2/3 or better weight retention for cup and core bullets. Monolithic types must perform as designed every time.

If the animal is not dead by the time ive waited a few minutes and climbed down from my stand, either me or the bullet did not achieve the kill i wanted.
Perfect Scott - and I can attest to the fact on occasions - I need to track - I hate it because I have become so accustomed to fact with the right bullet placement and the right bullet - I do not need to look for an animal.

This weekend a low shot and the stamina of an elk caused me some problems. Given if I could have put the bullet exactly where I wanted it the results would have been totally different. Not always do the best laid plans work the way they are suppose to. There can always be some uncontrolled circumstances.
