[QUOTE="cornstalker, post: 602257, member: 12323"] I am thinking winmag and I are on the same wavelength. Match bullets and hunting bullets are distinctly separated. They either explode and have a high BC, or they hang together and have the BC of a potato chip. The individual camps seem to be quite distinct. Monolithic solids are great, but to earn BC they create the challenge of too much length. I kind of thought Barnes was on the right track with their MRX, but to me it seemed too rear heavy to work well when velocity and rotation slows at long range. I would look to an innovator like Berger, with the best ballistics staff in the industry, to find a way to build a bullet with the form factor to boost BC to a respectable level yet enable it to hold together. A polymer tip would facilitate expansion at lower velocities, but only at a small expense if any in regards to BC. Polymer tips would certainly create a more predictable point than a hollow point, hence the need for BR shooters to uniform meplats. Why not a tapered jacket bonded core VLD with a tip to initiate expansion at lower velocity? My knowledge is obviously limited compared to a lot of guys on here and someone may point out why my thinking is flawed. I welcome that as I would learn from it. I just don't understand why not, based on my current paradigm. I kind of feel like "if it were that easy someone would have done it", yet still wonder, why not? [/QUOTE]
