I used these bullets on a hunt in my 6mm284. I shot two antelope and a coyote with them. The buck antelope I hit in the neck so no big deal. Bang-flop.
The coyote I hit a little far back. Got the bottom of the lungs, but also vacuumed a double fist sized ball of guts out the hole. I put a finisher in him and it removed two thirds of everything forward of the ears.
I shot a doe antelope next. The bullet grenaded the near shoulder. It broke the big bone, then the core carried on to turn the heart into a canoe. A piece went a bit further and broke the other shoulder and exited. There was a four inch hole in the ribs just inside the near shoulder, and the shoulder was littered with jacket and lead fragments.
I kind of thought the damage was excessive. I am just wondering, is this a fluke or is this how these bullets perform?
