The HP bullets are in fact Hollow Points, at least all the ones I have shot have been.
The Mag Tip bullet does not have any poly tip. THey have the lead filled to the tip of the bullet nose and some are slighly blunted at the tip to enhance expansion with the very heavy jackets used on some of these bullets. Some do not have this slight blunt.
Basically they are just a very small Flat Point on a tight Meplat.
Yes these are the jacket thicknesses. The 0.010 are for varminting and match shooting, The 0.020 can be used for lighter big game with heavier bullets or with bonded core bullets.
For heavy big game use the 0.030 and 0.040 and if needed with the bonded cores. The 0.040 will need some serious velocity to fully expand making it very well suited for the very large magnums. If you will be shooting at extreme range the 0.020 and 0.030 jackets would be a better choice then the 0.040 for expansion purposes.
The 0.065 jackets are extremely thick for use on the heaviest game or at the highest velocity for short range impacts. For big game with high velocity I would highly recommend the bonded core option to prevent core slippage which is a problem with any bullet.
Talk to Richard and he will tell you what jackets you need for your needs.
