One of my early efforts with the Partition, a 150 in a 308 Win, left me questioning the bullet. Turned out the deer had no lungs to breathe with and no cage to contain and inflate the lungs, but it still ran. Oh, and it was bleeding out from the first of two shots, a shot that shattered the liver.
In the 30-30 I load the 170 Corelokt. It won't come apart unless you hit bones on the order of moose vertebrae, and that means things are going to fall. I had a lighter bullet fail to find the opposite side of a river otter once. The otter died right there, but having a bullet come apart and be stopped by an otter was not confidence instilling.
