^^^ getting stuff like the above with my 30-30 and 150gr 30-30 bullets.Velocity was too slow to make the bullet come apart.I had to hit bone and break something..Spine break was a good shot.We all know what I am saying but I will say it anyway.I needed more velocity on impact or a lighter thinner jacket on the bullet to get it to come apart.One reason I LOVE the 55gr V-max you stick one behind the shoulder and No bone hit the internals are turned to red gravy.In my .308 I have shot the 178 A-Max at 2700 fps and it destroys meat but bone was hit for both kills.Bang flop.168A- and 155 A max same thing.I do not really like the crease behind the shoulder shot because I know they will run.I can put my shots in a quarter sized spot on a critter and sometimes i will test the performance of a new bullet by hitting the crease.I just used a 129 gr Hornady SP in 6.5x55 and hit the heart and found the jacket in the off shoulder under the skin.I could have used a 140 gr but small light bullets I have great luck with.This is from the 6.5x55 Swede. The lead core is gone and it did the job.No heart left in that one just red jelly.[ATTACH=full]323340[/ATTACH]

Bang flop.
168A- and 155 A max same thing.
I do not really like the crease behind the shoulder shot because I know they will run.
