I really wouldn't want to go hunting with steel core myself. my rusky surplus sparks every single shot when it hits steel targets so I would definitely say that expansion is going to be poor at best. for squirrels rabbits and skunks it's sufficient but I would use current production soft points for anything larger than a coyote.
