[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 331506, member: 11717"] Making a larger HP meplat would definitely fascilitate expanding. The question is how much do you trim. Unless you have a very precise way of doing it, it would also introduce a lot of inconsistancy in external ballistics and your BC will drop. GS bullets have a larger HP meplat for this very reason. Terminal performance seems to be their highest prority for "hunting" bullets. They design their bullets for reliable expansin down to 1500-1600 fps, depending on the bullet. [/QUOTE]
