[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 713357, member: 10832"] I re-read my post and didn't do a great job of getting my point across. I hate it when words get in the way! :) My main points were supposed to be more clear to state: 1. I think they are on the right track with a tipped but bonded bullet. This theoretically will ensure expansion but eliminate the blowups. 2. For me the perfect bullet is somewhere between the A-max or Berger style explosive grenade type bullets and one that keeps enough weight to still penetrate well with no blowups or penciling. The heavy for caliber A-max's and Bergers do this very well right now IMO but the light to medium weight for caliber bullets don't and a guy has to be careful in certain situations. A tipped bonded bullet, if constructed correctly could theoretically be good for crease shots and shoulder shots because consistent performance could be obtained in soft tissue only hits (the tipped bullets ensures expansion) and shoulder hits where the bonded bullet keeps it from disintegrating. I will add one point and this is only my experience and observation, with today's flat shooting cartridges, for me, LR is for sure a minimum of 400 yards and probably 5-600 yards and out to 1k. I personally haven't seen 30-50% loss in weight on any AB from those distances especially if no bone is hit. Bottom line, I am excited to see how these play out in real world scenarios. Scot E.
