Not really hard to stop any weight ballistic tip if it hits the shoulder. Soft bullets with explosive expansion don't make good penetrators.
It's quite common for them to shed their jackets and have small exit holes with straight through well placed shots.
I must be an enigma then cause I have never had a problem with them. However the smallest caliber I hunt with is a 25-06. Never shot a bonded bullet and never really plan to. In 22 years of hunting ive only ever found two bullets in a deer. And it was the same deer I shot twice.
