Maybe it is the load I used...
I have tested the Remington 300gr HP into water and it is a VERY soft bullet. I personally wouldn't trust them to break any kind of bone or exit. I would rather a 300 gr cast I find I was going that light weight in a .45-70. The 405 Remington is a great bullet and will hold together fairly well and penetrate all the way up to 2000 FPS.
