Happy new year guys :)

Whilst I would love a .375 high BC jacketed projectile north of 375 grains, I fear that to withstand the launch pressure the jacket would need to be too thick to allow acceptable terminal performance at the lower velocities encountered at ELR.

Certainly a tip of some sort would help with this.

Having said that I'm lead to believe the big 50 BMG Amax might as well be a solid as far as terminal performance is concerned.

Cost aside, I believe terminal performance is the key.
 
When I'm shooting on steel I want to be able to see my hits at ELR distances which is nice about shooting conventional bullets vs the solids.

The 50 cal A-Max has a rather large tip... right?
