Nope little hole in no exit :tup: that load shots 1/4moa our of my 243 so I have yet to hit a bone other then the ribs. The 95gr bt at 2900 is flat nasty on fur it will leave a big exit wound

I'm thinking that a heavier, more solidly constructed bullet would be what you need. FMJ would be best.

I use 100gr Hornady interlock.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Fmj would be my last choice. Youll get lots of runners
