[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 857455, member: 13833"] I wish I had one of the bullets to disect. I only had 5 to shoot and didn't want to sacrifice any. I seriously doubt that the jacket mouths are any thinner than mine as I use a .012"and most others are at least .014". I think your ideas are valid; at least in some combination. I would probably do away with the hollow point, leave the nose thin, and/or serrate slightly, put a little less taper in the jacket, and a larger tip if expansion wasn't sufficient at that point. The reason I suggest more taper is these things expand "beyond" anything that is necessary at long range and sacrifice a lot of weight at higher velocities. Bear in mind that all of these changes would affect balance and obturation to some degree, so they would obviously need to do some homework (testing) to maintain accuracy, but I think it is doable.......Rich [/QUOTE]
