[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 799950, member: 13833"] I haven't read every post in this thread but I think I get the jist of the debate. First of all, until they are proven, it's only hype! One thing that will be proven is that the b.c. is greatly exagerated! YOU CAN NOT HAVE A BULLET THAT HAS A THICKER JACKET, AND A LARGER MEPLAT WITH A SIMILAR SHAPE TO OTHER BULLETS THAT HAVE A THIN JACKET AND SMALL MEPLAT AND COME UP WITH A HIGHER B.C.! That being said, Nosler has a good reputation for manufacturing good bullets, and I think this may be one. I am not too concerned about bonding messing up the lower velocity expansion as I have not neccessarily found that to be true in my own bullets. There are other factors that are more important. I say this not knowing exactly which bonding method they use? Anyway, it will be interesting to see some of the results that come in. I am sure there will be a lot of testing with all the interest that has been generated between the two main camps! (controlled expansion vs fragmentation). I personally feel there is a need for both and have often said that there is no perfect bullet for every situation. I think that when all is said and done, Nosler has probably come up with an improvement on the AB by extending the range a little. This isn't a bad thing, but it won't replace all other bullets!.........Rich [/QUOTE]
