I’ve seen frangible work well even with less then desirable shot placement especially at extended ranges. One-lung, liver or paunch a big game animal with a stout bullet and you are likely in for a bit of roller coaster ride. Same shot with a frangible and I’m smokin cigarettes walking down to him piled up not far away...

The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
