Not sure how that would be possible. It would act more like a standard hollow point.
Didn't want to call the man out... but that is exactly what I thought/think. The statment about the steel I made was just to state that just cause it will shoot through steel doesn't mean it acts "armor peircing"...
With the amount of blood from the dog this morning, coming out of the mouth and pool it was in (I moved it to take a pic) I'm pretty sure the bullet is not acting "armor peircing"...
