[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 1532423"] Fmj's are funny and it really depends on the design intent...certain tips as sometimes used in Military ammunition will travel a fair way into a medium before beginning to tumble sometimes making 1 full turn before exiting base first..others will travel a short distance and begin to yaw and dependent on range/velocity and jacket material may break into multiple pieces that buzz saw against each other and the heaviest piece will usually exit..others may make two full rotations or more before exiting and if it is yawed when it exits..big hole doesn't begin to describe it. Then there is the always possible bone hits, where the bone fragments cause more damage than the bullet. Using a frangible may be your best bet, though it may require some trials to find out how well or not it works..may mean closer shots where the bullet is traveling faster..and finding out at what ranges it starts to perform more like a conventional hunting bullet..small hole in large hole out [/QUOTE]
