Most folks assume they are HP so work like one. They are not. They are ballistic HP.

Expands generaly like a soft point, or less, and penetrates.

Only issue is if the tip gets smashed shut before it can peel back a bit.

The jackets are target jackets not varmint jackets and are thicker than varmint jackets to hold up to speed and fast twist rates.

I don't suggest this, but I use em all the time and never think twice.

You can even head shoot, and have a caliber in and dime or so size out, vs shot with a ballistic tip and being nasty.

If anything you have less shock and less damage and less blood trail than you would expect.

Have never recovered one in game yet, have seen em in the dirt at the target though, but thats a hard impact.
