In my young and stupid days, I used match bullets (no longer available today, but basically the same thin jackets) in 222, 6mmRem, 270, 280, 30-06, and 300 Win Mag, to harvest at least 10 deer/antelope with each cartridge.

The term "hand-grenades" seems most appropriate. If you love to blow the bajeepers out of meat, if you love bone, lead and copper infused meat, if you love to throw away what would have been good eating meat, then by all means, use target bullets on game.

The three bullets I have found that produced quick kills with a minimum of meat damage are the Hornady Interbond, Rem Core-Lokt, and Speer Grand Slam. The best game getter is the Nosler Partition, but it ruins a lot more meat at ranges under 300 yards.
