Poly Carb. tipped bullets and high velocity impacts will get you some rather nasty looking entrance wounds.

Does'nt matter how the bullet is built.

It's what happes after the massive trauma of the first few inches that does get different with bullet construction.

Once all you fellers come to that realization all these threads will make sense.

Lower velocity impacts ie. sub 2900fps, seem to perform as designed.
Cross the 3000fps window and weird stuff begins to happen.

Poly carb tips do not magically make a bullet any more or less lethal than a lead tipped bullet, heck they've proved that mashed up bullet tips dont even effect accuracy all that much, or at all.

Choose bullets based on how they shoot in your rifle, then make choices around construction, based on the expected hunting conditions, but remember that if you plan on 200yd+ shots and sudden get faced with a 75yd one, things might get a bit unexpected as far as terminal ballistics go.

Remember the manufacturers make bullets to range all calibers they might get used in, for example a 165gr bullet has to expand at 300 Savage velocities, yet that same bullet might get stuffed into a 330RUM.
Imagine those design parameters???
