and you used one of the softest most explody ones for testing too.... the likes of a coreloct or interloct would be even less....I still eat right up to the bullet hole. wouldnt be stuff all duck left to eat if we didnt.

Yeah, i tried to make the scenario as bad as possible while still keeping it within what would be a normal situation for the kind of hunting we do in nz (im sure nobodys out there shooting deer with incendiary rounds or varmint style projectiles) hence using a common nz hunting projectile rumoured to be bad at flying to bits, at close range, into hard shoulder/bone. i can only imagine that the really bad looking results online are using chamberings/projectiles that are nothing like what we would actually use to shoot game for the purpose of harvesting the meat here in nz.
