Biebs and Jorge got it spot on, shoot barnes TSX or something like a 300gr North Fork soft only. Take a few softs for insurance shots on the ground. Partitions way too soft.

Penetration and expansion depend alot on what the bullet encounters in its path.IMO,any bullet will not have an easy time going through a buff regardless of what it hits.If a solid goes through a buff it will do so in the same way a TSX,A-frame,Partition,etc goes through a medium size animal-in other words a solid will not be much more different on a buff than a soft in expansion trauma but will be much better than a soft in penetration.Sometimes you barely get any penetration from a soft on buff even with bullets like a 500gr TSX or an A-frame.You can be sure a solid will go through both lungs- cant say the same about an A-frame or even worse a TSX. | |||

I wonder if I can qualify as having an insurable interest?
