Tailgunner doesn't the goose/rabbit just "explode" like the bullet ?

jjrckd if they have used v-max with lower speeds then for sure it should work with nosler. As i know v-max is even more explosive like nosler and it needs 2000 fps to start exploding unlike nosler that starts expanding at 1600.

Cederho if you look in the picture i posted the nosler will "explode" if it goes very fast(3000 ftp) but should only expand at 1800 fps. Also because the other bulles in this caliber ( i use 222 ) have low BC and nosler performed very well in my old winchester 70. i usually have my 17 hmr with me for rabbits but if i am out for fox i have the 222. Its hard to have two rifles with me all the time. Also shooting a rabbit with a full speed 50 grs softpoint does a lot of damage....

I am new at reloading and i was wondering if you could use for example nosler ballistic tip (.224) with a low speed ( 1800 fps ) for shooting meat game. rabbit, goose ....
?I have used this bullets with high speed (3300 fps) for fox where meat damage doesnt matter and they work perfect. At this speed they "explode" but if i would lower the speed to 1800 i think expansion and sound is lower. Has anyone tried this ?

I never tried it on goose. I use sako softpoint 50 gr. Never had any bird flying ... But after your comments I will definitely try it this year
