[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2560879, member: 88146"] There are things they can do besides jacket thickness to make a bullet behave differently. They can use a softer lead core for one. That would cause violent rapid expansion. They could construct the jackets differently by scoring the inside of the jacket to weaken it in areas. Hornady doesn't do like Nosler with their boat tails. Nosler uses copper for the boat tail and then they square off the lead core. This prevents the lead core from ejecting from the jacket as easily as other manufacturers bullets. It also adds weight to the base in case of a jacket separation so it will continue to penetrate. [/QUOTE]
