Every Hunting Bullet Type Explained

The soft point loses 30 to 50 percent of its weight on impact. The bonded bullet retains 92 to 95 percent. That difference is what separates a clean kill from a wounded animal on a quartering-away elk shot at 300 yards. The Nosler Partition solved the jacket separation problem decades before bonded bullets existed — a copper wall dividing the bullet into two sections, front for expansion, rear for penetration. It's still one of the most trusted elk bullets available today. And solid copper bullets are now legally required in California for all hunting. More states are moving in the same direction. 00:00 Soft Point 01:47 Ballistic Tip 03:25 Bonded Bullet 05:02 Partition Bullet 06:24 Solid Copper 08:06 Hollow Point 09:20 Dangerous Game Solid Subscribe to Hunting Lab for the science, biology, and mechanics of hunting and wildlife — new videos every week. #HuntingBullet #HuntingAmmo #HuntingLab #SoftPoint #BallisticTip #BondedBullet #NoslerPartition #SolidCopper #HuntingGear #ElkHunting
