[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1510265, member: 30902"] The Peregrine's don't seem to be affected much if any by velocity due to the engineering in the nose. Expansion is caused by essentially a shape charge created by the pressure on impact rather than simply the force of the tip being driven back against the meplat. The "plunger" has a double angle on it similar to an upside down bowling ball target and an air pocket between the base of the stem and the bottom of the drill hole. As the tip is driven back a massive amout of pressure is created in that airspace as it is compressed. Exit wounds dont' seem to differ much even with extreme variations in speed on impact and the few I have recovered on the long shots are still showing about 1.5x caliber or slightly better expansion. I've shot a few of the VLR5's in 6.5, 7mm, and .30 cal out to transonic or subsonic ranges and been real impressed with the consistency. [/QUOTE]
