You need to think about this with a scientific/forensics state of mind and not just take it at face-value.

A shot on a bobcat like the 3 I posted would have stopped just about any other similar bullet as well. You have to take into consideration the effect of several inches of vertebrae on the projectile. I have stopped Partitions with similar shots and on similarly-sized creatures. I also have recovered Barnes TTSX from hogs as small as 90 pounds. But that doesn't mean they don't penetrate well.

By the way, the BTs at moderate speeds behave remarkably like the Accubonds and only fall a few percentage points short in terms of penetration.

Look at the brute of a hog I killed a couple nights ago. The 120 grain BT penetrated the shoulder and exited the other side. Is that not sufficient penetration? smile
