[QUOTE="muleystalker, post: 2451254, member: 79944"] You don’t want to drill out the tip you just want to use mini drill bit the same size as the hole to make sure it’s clear and no polishing media or anything else is in there. I think the people that have had problems is related to two issues; one they either damaged the tips from handling or storage or damaged putting in or removing from the rifle magazine, especially BDL style mages. Or two is shot placement, people have to remember these bullets are designed to work well for long range hunting, to expand quickly and dump there energy. Some people load these things as fast as they can in these big magnums shooting 3000+ fps and then want to to shoot an animal at 100 yards in the shoulder and then wonder what happened. No bullet it the perfect bullet in every situation, you have to work wth the bullet and what the situation is is. If you are have a closer shot and I mean inside 600 yards, for sure find shoot for the shoulder with these, they may expand too soon for your liking. I always shoot behind just behind the shoulder. Once you get out to farther distances beyond 800yds for and some reason with you are worried about the bullet not expanding enough at you are shooting a bit in the lower side velocity wise there are times I have shot for the shoulder to hit something hard to start the expansion, but those were very unique situations. Shooting the 195 out of say a 28 Nos there is never realy a time you would need to shoot for the shoulder unless you are pushing the range limits too far. [/QUOTE]
