[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 846952, member: 13833"] This is one of the reasons that I say a tipped bullet, at really long ranges is more consistent "better", providing you are talking about the same, or similar jacket. In order to insure expansion with the hollow point, the meplat has to be wide enough, and remain open, to work properly. When you have this situation, my sharp pointed tips have a greater b.c. which is a big plus at extreme ranges, not only for the obvious reasons, but also for maintaining the velocity needed to initiate expansion. Again, it comes down to the range and target. I consider the Bergers "better" than what I use for a lot of conditions, but not when you are talking 1000+ yards. Mine just start working well at over 500 yards where a Berger, or similar, will penetrate better and cause far less entry damage than mine closer up.......rich [/QUOTE]
