[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 3006134, member: 116563"] Here’s a little update from some testing with bullets in the mag. These are 208 ELDM’s at 3.620” COAL in a Hawkins hunter mag. The tips get thumped pretty good in there. The BTO does not change at all though. And I only have .001 neck tension. But clearly there would be some long range consistency issues with the follow up shots. Two on the left came out of the mag. Right bullet is fresh for comparison. [ATTACH type="full"]533234[/ATTACH] Unfortunately I did not test the smashed tips today, because it simply slipped my mind after shooting long range, single feed style. This was a 1226 yard group with the 208’s just single feeding them though. [ATTACH type="full"]533236[/ATTACH] Maybe I’ll intentionally save like 5 rounds from the mag with smashed tips and shoot side by side groups at say, 7-800 yards and see the differences in groups and impacts.
