I think "Wallop" is a thing

Why not compare similar bullets?
Thats highly doable.

Most of the modern bullets everyone espouses are similar in concept to the Nosler partition. The partition is an exposed lead nose bullet with a thin frontal jacket and a lead base locked into a thicker copper jacket. The ELDX is probably the most similar to this design. Thicker rear coper jacket with a lock ring holding in the lead and thin front jacket designed to crumble and expand. The ballistic tip assist with that. The exposed lead nose bullets will still work very well, but its been awhile since i've shot any. I'd want to compare accuracy with a modernized bullet. The lead nose bullets do loose their velocity VERY fast comparitively though so that would be why they loose some favor. If you're an east coaster with a max 300 yards for a shot, then that might be a solid reason to not change bullets to sleek high BC bullets. The biggest objective is to put all the bullet energy into creating tissue damage(big wound channel)

Some bullets seem to do this a little too well. SMK comes to mind. Those jackets are thin thin thin. I've found some of the jacket peeled off at the point of entry
