Having said that, I've tried the 140gn eldm on a hare and it made a baseball sized exit wound (after hitting the spine)

Still waiting on those 147gn eldm to arrive....

Probabaly more a case of hydrostatic shock in this instance rather than projectile design, assuming the hare wasn't miles away and there was still high residual velocity.
