    My experience of CCI and winchester hollowpoint subs, is that they all pass through a broadside rabbit, regardless of where they are hit. The only recovered bullets have been when I'm shooting a rabbit from the tail to head, or reverse. This is the reason I started using CCI segmented subs. On a broadside shot, the 3 petals are still exiting, albeit with a lot less energy than a 40gn lump of lead.
    The only round I have that does not pass through a rabbit is a 17 hornet with a 20gn frangible varmint projectile, but they render the animal useless to eat.
