SOme bullets hitting bone destroy much less than others. Results are still dead deer.
We ran some SSTs, 130s and 150s, in 270 for my buddies dad. He was getting older and didn't always hit em perfectly.... thought that more expansion might net shorter trails. It seemed to help some, but the meat damage on a shoulder shot was more than any of us liked. But it helped with less trailing.
Then I ran the mono light and fast theory for grins since I prefer barnes over abotu any other choice anyway.
Come to find out a 95 ttsx in a 270 they don't usually go very far and even so if hit to far back, OR if hit to far forward through bones there really was not significant meat damage.
Of course YMMV.
