Ive trended towards more frangible bullets over the last few years - ones' that look a bit messy and sharp edged and are about half their weight when you retrieve them. Mostly the lead has separated from the jacket. They seem to wreck and plunder the insides better than harder projectiles.

Isn't that ironic??? When read in conjunction with your other post how most of your "less than ideal" results this year we're with 257 using mono projectiles... You simply cannot make an omlet without breaking eggs. More damage = faster killing. But more damage is more damage/less edibles. Be interesting to see how you go with NBT. With everything else the same. I suggest the 257 Bob will be completely different beast in dramatic fashion.
