They seem to have performed well on antelope at 310 yds and on a couple of good size Western OK bucks, each about 60yds. I remember one of the bullets that hit a rib on entry separated the core and the jacket with both found in opposite shoulder. I think there might have been another separation on another animal but not sure. In either case expansion was evident. I'm not knowledgably about jacket wall thickness and if it varies by caliber with these SST bullets so I can't argue your results. In my daughter's gun they'll 5 shot .75". And with that being said, I firmly believe a small hole in the right spot is better than a large hole in the wrong spot. </blockquote>
