Thread: Cannelures

Ive been doing a bit of goat control and have been using the hornady 60 gr soft point with unsatisfactory results at least from the goats viewpoint. I got 200 belmont black 60 gr at an insane price and they are accurate and sl faster(80 fps) than my handloads.
However the terminal results seem different. On big billies they appear to penetrate less and be a bit explody. All the bullets ive recovered have lost their lead core and the jackets are pretty shredded compared with the ones ive been using.
So im wondering does the cannelure weaken the jacket slightly.
Its not a biggie but it would be nice to know.
