Thank goodness for that! Lol
We all experience bad shot placement if you hunt long enough. My experience in tracking marginal hits with mono bulletts versus a Ballistic tip/accubond/Ballistic Silver tip etc has been that we eventually find the poorly hit Balistic tip styled animal, but not the solid Bullet. Muliple small wound channels vs the single (mostly) wound of a solid bullet. Of course exit wounds are not a promise or typical of Ballistic tip bullets either, but it often resembles a hand grenade tossed into the chest cavity. My good friend and hunting partner uses TSX, and most of my long tracking jobs have come from this, lol.
But lots of people have different opinions. If your new to hunting, the grenade scenario offers a little margin for your errors as a human being.
And I have had to track animals where a Ballistic Tip blew up on a shoulder, and didn't penetrate to the vitals, whereas a monimetal bullet would have. Each bullet type has it's limitations.
