[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1773111, member: 2736"] The velocity they list is the maximum recommended at the POI for normal expansion. If you shot something at those velocities, at point blank range The bullet would be explosive and probably come apart. The bullet itself can deal with much more velocity at the muzzle, To fast of a Twist rate seems to be the downfall of many bullets because of the RPM it has to deal with. The ballistic tip is one of MY favorite bullets for long range shooting because they will still expand at reduced velocities. The fastest velocity I have personally reached with a ballistic tip has been 4600+ ft/sec with good accuracy, Barrel twist was slow (1 in 15 )in this rifle. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
