Default RE: Expansion Vs. Penetration for Whitetail

This was my first year hunting with a Hornady Interbond which is very similar to a BT and it performed just as I expected; explosively. I was forced to make a shoulder shot (quartering towards). It destroyed the shoulder while fragmenting into many pieces, left a bassball size hole in the ribs, turned the vitals into muck and a few peices lodged into the opposite side under the hide. Bottom line, it did a wonderfully explosive job.
mistahmojoryan, clarifaction please - are you referring to the SST or the Interbond (IB) bullet? The SST is designed and acts much like a NBT, correct. However the "Interbond" while polymer tipped and tapered heel is suppose to be bonded and retain high amounts of weight. The interbond should not frag and be explosive, yes it expands very well but also is design to retain weight like a NP for penetration (the best of both worlds plus better BC for accuracy). The Interbond is to be compared to the likes of the Nosler Accubond or Swift Scirrico's.
