When the jacket seperates from the core, the question of what if, if you have to have angled penetration, a shoulder is hit, even worse if at an angle and so on.


If so, you have to limit the shot animal sizes and shot placement.

If thats acceptable then its fine, if not then a better bullet, IMHO, needs to be used.

I"ve shot lots of stuff with varmint HPs, meaning deer, you have to be very picky about shots, but you know that going in. Varmint bullets are made to come to pieces, hunting bullets typically are not and should not be IMHO. Retained weight for comfort should be at least 50% if not more for me anyway.

So as long as you are aware, life is fine.
