That's actually perfect for whitetail or blacktail deer but maybe a little excessive for people. I wonder how this compares to the construction of a typical hunting bullet in terms of weight retention. There are a bunch of hunting bullets that are designed to penetrate roughly the same distance and retain the vast majority of their mass. Why not just use them for self defense since they are tried and true?

What's the BC of the new bullet?
