[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2408361, member: 11853"] I think the white tips can be an issue mainly because of it's color. I think the plastic used for the tip,the pigment and hardener are probably not mixed thoroughly.I have never had one single issue with the colored tips,only the white ones.Years ago I had about a dozen tips fall off in a box of 50.The part of the tip that was inside of the bullet was soft and caulky.The tip that was on the outside was hard.This tells me it had to be a mixing issue because it needed the air to cure properly.I also think this can cause the exploding Accubond issue.The tips probably fall off in flight and the bullet becomes a wide deep cavity hollow point.Those tips turning green are probably some type of acid reaction to the lead or copper and the improperly mixed white plastic.I wish Nosler would change those white tips.Hornady had issues with some of their red tips before the translucent red they now use.I would break one of those greenish white tips off and dig the plastic out of the inside to see if there is some type of corrosion going on and contact Nosler and see what they say about it.
