    You could try bonded projectiles, I have had good luck with Nosler Accubonds. Otherwise barnes or similar will hold together

    Neither are cheap but I think the accubonds come in 6mm and if you are only shooting them at deer then cost is irrelevent unless you are shooting hundreds

    I don't really like using xplody projectiles for the very reason you described
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.
