[QUOTE="Kurtr, post: 55987, member: 194"] They exit with a.quarter size exit. Less expansion than a Berger but more than a bonded bullet. They go through coyote unless your hit shoulder. The 140 6.5 162 7mm and 168 .308 all the ones I have killed stuff with my self. Seen the 105 6mm and 75 in a 22-250 both kill with ease. The 208 out of the big 30's is also a killer way out there. I don't like lead tip as they deform in and out of mag but for most probably not a concern. If I went moose hunting with a .243 I would shoot the partitions and smash both shoulders. [/QUOTE]
