Happened to be watching a hunting show on versus and they were using a new kind of rifle bullet that fragmented on impact. Reminded me of the old glaser safety slugs you could buy for handguns. BBs floating in teflon, which acts like a shotgun on impact. This bullet basically did the same, except manufactured different. Idea was to expend all the bullet energy into the animal, which doesn't happen with a bullet that over-penetrates. Downside is that there is no exit wound. Upside is that the animal's vitals are shredded.
Sounds like this may have some applicability with MLs. Bullet would have to be redesigned to fragment at the slower speeds, but concept would be the same. Wish I could remember the name of the ammo, just saw it on the tube last night.
