[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1166601, member: 7999"] I have been following the controversy regarding melting tips on tipped bullets. It brings to mind the question of how much difference does meplat dia. make when it comes to bc of a bullet. In our manufacturing we have been very conscious keeping the hollow pt as small as possible and still function in terminal performance, in order to keep bc as high as possible. From the manufacturing side, the smaller the hole the more problematic. Larger drills are much less susceptible to breaking. Larger holes initiate expansion at lower vel better. So how much difference does 1mm, 2mm, 3mm hole size make? As bullet dia becomes bigger does it make less difference? The good news is our bullets don't have tips so they can't melt.:D At this point in time we will continue to concentrate on 1mm hollow points. Steve [/QUOTE]
