Missing the target is an entirely different topic. A miss with any bullet is a bad thing. That is a training issue. Major change in our state qual course is round accountability. Any round not accounted for is an automatic failure and you need to shoot the COF over.
50-80% of handgun bullets miss the intended target entirely. The number must be less for rifles but still significant. Most expanding rifle bullets are likely to fully penetrate the target. I don't see a reason to get caught up in it. I like the 70TSX because it expands to 300 or 400m depending on barrel length.
