[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2631574, member: 106845"] It still depends on impact velocity, amount of SD the particular one you’re using has, and amount of resistance the bullet experiences upon impact. It can still happen to the TGK because it’s not bonded, but it happens less because the rate of expansion is slower and less overall material is shed. You’d experience less issue with premature jacket separation with bullets like the original GameKing or TMK, or other thinner jacketed non-bonded bullets, by increasing SD (mass). That will increase penetration vs expansion and slow the rate of material shedding. Lower impact velocity and/or amount of resistance upon impact can have a similar effect. There’s a lot of GameKings that are simply at a weight that gives them insufficient SD for most cartridge combos they’re used in. [/QUOTE]
