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.


If by inconsistent you mean 1 in a hundred stops inside the animal because it hit something not animal that was a good four or more inches thick, And it still killed her on the spot in spite of her making it thirty yards in her last three jumps. Then you sir are a bit more of a perfectionist than I am.



I was actually surprised by the fact that the stomach contents could actually slow it down more effectively than bone can.

I'm not completely buying that. I've seen 150gr bonded soft point .30-06 bullets completely explode on that shoulder knuckle. I have a hard time believing a 125gr bullet scooting at 3200 would hold together better, much less a hollow point.

Are the nosler BT's bonded?
