just as an example on bullet expansion characteristics
my buddy used a 358 win BLR and rarely had a 250 speer exit an elk, or mule deer,
when the local dealer ran out of speer 250 grain, he tried the 250 hornadys
while either bullet was and are consistently lethal,
he swapped to HORNADY 250 grain bullets(briefly)
both were lethal, both accurate, but he got more exits on mule deer,
using the hornady 250 grain, he preferred the speers
btw if you soak old magazines in water , over a few hours ,
and stack them in a large box as a backstop,
to use as a test medium, you'll see the difference
