I am new to the ballistics game so i am not quite sure what to make of it, but i am guessing the polymer tips perform better once they have slowed down a bit?
Trying the same shots with lead tip projectiles (130gr) dropped every goat in its tracks.
Can anyone shead some light on this?

take point of aim forward to middle of shoulder and break bone..huge difference and you dont drive far without front wheels.
you may loose a bit of shoulder meat but far less chance of lost animal.
