What you're saying is you have a super effective gut shooting load, but a square lick on the shoulder knuckle might not end so well.


Nope. I've done that. Turns the bone into shrapnel and still exits the other side. It flat destroys that shoulder though. lol

So it can't hold together on a gut shot but holds together perfectly fine on a ball joint?

Rounds that fragment like that are just far too inconsistent for me to trust them.

In fact downshift, with this same round I killed that 300 lb boar hog I put that camera on a couple years ago. Broke a rib after getting through the hide and shield and broke that shoulder on the opposite side.

Didn't exit, but I never thought it would. I was just amazed it smashed the bones in the opposite shoulder.

but won't go through the guts?

This is all i'm gonna say on balistic tips... I'm glad you like em, I hate em, cause I don't like walkin' or crawlin' around in the woods looking for blood or a deer cause somebody has shot it with a balistic tip,,, when i could be back at the camp eating lunch, supper or watching the ball game..
