The other factor is that ALL "hunting" Ballistic Tips will separate core and jacket. I know this from shooting them in calibers from 6mm to .375
While they often will separate, one can't say they always do -- and this is gleaned from a couple hundred or so kills of big game with them along with countless media tests. Here are just a few that didn't separate. The photos will continue into a second reply below as individual posts are limited to six images, I believe.
