Good to know that,
.585-caliber/ 750-gr TSX petals can be shed on a cape buffalo rib at about 2050 fps impact.
I never would have thunk that, but a cape buffalo rib is a lot stronger than a bison rib.

I expect brass hollow-point bullets to shed their petals even if thrown by hand at a buffalo.
I used to expect a lot more stick-to-it-ive-ness from a copper hollow-point bullet.
