Any time I hear of a story where a BT "blew up" on the surface of a game animal, I immediately think of two things.

1. How old is the bullet? Was it pre BT "Hunting" where the jackets were thin like a varmint grade bullet or the newer, more modern, heavy jacketed BT where the jacket is thick towards the base, just like an Accubond?

2. What caliber/rifle did it come from and what was the impact velocity? Did it come out of a 308, 7-08/7Mauser, 257 Roberts or did it get launched from a 257 Weatherby, 7mm Mag....something, or a 300 Wissum, etc?

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone on this post.
