Its not like designing a 110-130 gr bullet that expands reliably but doesn't fragment at 2200-2300 fps is something modern manufacturers are not capable of. Despite the fact that most people here on M4C have not shot other people, I would have to think that most folks would agree that a catridge that reliably kills deer/hogs would be effective against 2-legged critters.
