I like expanding bullets myself. I have taken a lot of game with a handgun and I have never lost an animal if I did my part. I have lost several deer with buckshot, but that is when I was a kid. Where you place the bullet is by far more important.
Very true, however when I was a kid my dad shot a doe (double lung) with a 30-30 using 170's Winchester factory ammo, she ran over 450 yards, the bullet never expanded. If he has used 150 grain bullets she probably wouldn't have made it 50 yards.
