HP slug or non hp slug

Wondering does it even matter for hunting?

I’m seeing some animals walk or fly way when shot with 50-60 fpe. For birds it just doesn’t dump enough I guess. I like the high bc though


Any thoughts
Thin walled wide mouthed , light Hollow points is the way for birds.

VK 22 XLHP, JSB .216 20.83 or .217 28.55 knockouts will explode, essentially even on birds. H&N hp 2 will rearrange them too.

Thanks for commenting. I am interested!
Would you have any pictures that show this? (I'd be interested in the impact velocity as well — or MV and range.)

Thanks! 😊
