I used BTs in .270 Roy and .300 Roy and rarely got exits on bigger wild hogs, and not much blood to follow.

that doesnt explain the DRTs I had with the old FailSafes even at ranges out to +/- 400yds.

less frontal area compared to other expanding designs and not the disintegrating explosive effect of NP/BT.

...but down they went.

They ones that were not DRT, typically left a sufficient blood trail to follow.
