I know this topic is a dead horse that has been thoroughly beaten but I do have some questions that I could not find answers to.
I am strictly interested in the hunting performance on game aspect, I understand that leading is a whole separate discussion and I don't want to get into that here.
Question #1: Assuming a large bore caliber like .452 with bullets that have LARGE meplats (80%-95%), is it advantageous or disadvantageous to have the bullet deform on deer/hog size game?
Question #2: Will there be any significant deformation on deer/hog sized animals if a 15 BNH bullet such as those described above is fired at ~1300 fps on close range (<20 yards) shots?
thanks!
