[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1364513, member: 30902"] I had dozens of them do it and was lucky enough to recover quite a few of them from big hogs and a few deer. They are a decent, cheap bullet to shoot at varmints and predators but I quit using them on game animals for those reasons. Admittedly I'm probably the pickiest person I've even know when it comes to terminal performance so I've been through quite a few bullets over the years. Until I started shooting the Peregrines my "go to" bullet for the last couple of decades was the Hornady Interbond and the Nosler Accubond was not too far behind. I'm a nut for consistent, predictable, controlled expansion in a broad range of velocities because I never know if my next shot will be at 40 yards, 400, or 750yds and with my "go to" calibers being 7mm STW and 300 Rum with the 300wm close behind impact velocities can be anywhere from 3200-2000fps from shot to shot. I hate caliber sized hole punchers and hate explosive bullets just as much or more so I'm not exactly easy to please. The only thing that bothers me worse that unnecessary wasted meat is for a wounded animal to run off. [/QUOTE]
