[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 785084, member: 13833"] Hi Roy, it's good to hear from you! I completely agree with you on needing some other choices. The aluminum tips are pretty good for most bullets "when you are making your own" but as you stated, you can really upset the balance when you are adding to an existing bullet. Corbins is making a mild steel tip now which weighs 15 grains that might be ok for re tipping but it is too heavy for most of my applications. My 10 twist doesn't like that much weight forward. I had some brass tips made that have a .175" meplat and weigh 12 grains which work pretty well but I used up most of the kids inheritance in buying them:D I've been thinking about trying to work with a hard poly tip that could be pointed, but as Kirby said, Oh the time and $$$! I think a light tip would work REALLY well with the new 215 Berger Hybrids as they have .4" of air space in the nose anyway......Rich [/QUOTE]
