I stopped in at a local gunstore, today; mentioned this thread. The owner showed me a .30 Failsafe (apparently 180 grains or less) which had been retrieved from an animal.
Little expansion; maybe to .40 or .45 caliber. It had been used on a big Scottish deer (Red Stag?) and the shooter had said he'd never use the Failsafe again...
It looked like it might be good if your target is specifically heavy bone, I guess.
FWIW, Art
