whitearrow,
Actually, a far better "worst-case scenario" test of big game bullets is shooting into a stack of DRY (not wet) newspaper. (Wet newspaper is far more forgiving, one reason many bullet companies used it for years. Just about any bullet ends up as "perfect" mushroom.)
Have tested bullets in a lot of different kinds of media over the years, and when I really want to know what might happen when a bullet hits heavy bone, dry newspaper comes closest.
