Bullet tumbling
A long heavy bullet such as used for long range shooting, will start to yaw/tumble when it hits flesh. That long sharp nose cuts allot of tissue while its spinning end for end.
The same effect as the M16's old M193 55 grain bullet, which would also break apart.
The reason why a target style high BC Spitser FMJ bullet is not recommended for hunting is the erratic performance on big game due to the tumbling issue.
A solid round nose will drill a neat straight hole. This is needed for punching holes in heavy bone like Elephant skulls or Cape Buffalo shoulders.
