I have seen haard cast bullets shatter when hitting bone...With my 478 grain .459 inch bullet,it passed through that bear like a pointed pencil....So I made a two part bullet..Hard base and pure lead tip...The next bear a few years later had a hole the size of a baseball on the exit side..I believe the muzzle velocity was like 1500 fps...I have load all my records in a fire so I can not give you all the details..But be proud you got the deer..Not many would even try the cast bullets....
