non bonded cup and core bullets shedding the jacket and working exactly how they are intended to work is a bullet failure
I don't think I've ever seen a manufacturer market jacket separation as a desirable thing. They go to great lengths to prove their product isn't susceptible to that. I don't know what a tipped power shok bullet is to look it up, but I'm sure they do not market core/jacket seperation as the intended performance.
I could see how jacket separation of a controlled expansion bullet would be about the 2nd worst performance possible. It doesn't really fragment, it doesn't penetrate predictably, it doesn't exit reliably. There's really nothing desirable about that. I get the pitch for match bullets and what they do. I don't get this pitch for jacket separation at all.
