Ive trended towards more frangible bullets over the last few years - ones' that look a bit messy and sharp edged and are about half their weight when you retrieve them. Mostly the lead has separated from the jacket. They seem to wreck and plunder the insides better than harder projectiles.

Lovely looking mushrooms don't tell you a lot about how a bullet kills.

I have an exceedingly big pig, going off of the prints, that has just showed up here. Can one of you, or does one of you wish to come have a crack at it?
