I guess a steel tip is one way to prevent them from acting like a varmint bullet and fragmenting 99% of the time. At $4 a bullet and the fact they would be illegal here, i will have to pass.
A cheaper bullet that reliably expands yet still retains well over 80% of its weight is far more preferable for deer hunting. I cant imagine paying $2 a bullet or more for one that does neither.

Further, why do you call my simple testing method a torture test. All that is done is to place a small piece of carpet in front of a small piece of plywood, in front of some water jugs. Just a simple man trying to simply replicate a hunting scenario.
