And then targeting the animal the same way as you would with a normal lead bullet. The traditional swaged type can be quite unforgiving with poor expansion. A behind the shoulder rear lung shot for example.

    There's so many smart designs out there now, the innovation has been great to see. If you're worried about lead (I'm not) then all you need is a fast twist barrel chambered for long-for-calibre bullets in whatever calibre you like. Send the bullet of choice sensibly fast. Success will follow. And there's no need to argue about it unless a genuine official press statement is made about a review, be in on DOC land or all land or whatever. Happy lead & lead-free hunting.
    The biggest problems I see with monos are lack of velocity from short barrels and or poor powder choice & way to heavy for calibre

    Generally you need a light projectile, a 7mm 110 in a Barnes generally stays at 105-110 grains so has a retained weight like or better than a 140 cup & core with much less recoil

    In this country the 7mm Barnes 140 is ideal in a magnum cartridge not a 7-08, unless you are chasing Wild Bulls

    The Hammers are different, they lose their nose into 2-3 grain bits of shrapnel then the base carries on to exit generally

    The devastation from this performance needs to be seen to be believed

    FWIW if I didn't have an icecream container literally full of loaded 110 TTSX 7-08 rounds I would only be using Hammers in our 7-08s
