Thread: SECTIONAL DENSITY

Construction with a view to destruction. The match bullets are not designed to spread apart but stay somewhat in tact to create a lovely wound channel. The target versions just zip on through and may even tend to rely on contact with bone to cause much in the way of deformation. Having said that, I've tried the 140gn eldm on a hare and it made a baseball sized exit wound (after hitting the spine)

Still waiting on those 147gn eldm to arrive....

Probabaly more a case of hydrostatic shock in this instance rather than projectile design, assuming the hare wasn't miles away and there was still high residual velocity.
