[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 422786, member: 4491"] i'm very impressed with the results of these "do em by hand" bullets. at one time i drilled out the hollow points of SMK's and filed the ends to clean them up. didn't seem to make any difference in the POI or accuracy out to 950 yds. i did it to "hopefully" guarantee good exspansion. the best thing, IMO, about tipped bullets is the consistency of their BC. i read a very interesting report where they experimented with bullets trying to determine which had the most consistent BC. they did this with dopler radar. actually firing bullets at tremendous distances and could record the exact path each took and claimed to determine the exact BC of each bullet. they tested quite a few, mostly match bullets, but the best, meaning the bullets that had the "lowest spread" was the Accubond followed by the Balistic tip. the consistancy of the plastic tips was credited with them being the most consistant. your bullets look amazing. my concern would be how consistant they are with respect to concentricity.
