I killed two coyotes once with my .340 Wby and the 225 spire point. Both shot tight behind the shoulder, and both ran probably 100 yards before toppling over. I was stunned being what I had just shot them with. This same bullet/load had absolutely flattened deer, elk and caribou.
Speed and bullet construction doesn't mean $hit if your target isn't big or stout enough to expand the bullets.
If the bullet is too big in relation to the size of the critter you many not get much expansion.
