[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1664719, member: 109862"] Interesting for sure, thanks for the feedback. I’ve heard this before, that ideally the bergers in particular delay fragmentation. I’ve also heard other not so glowing accounts of this happening earlier than desired or not happening at all (the particular report being that the 180 vld 7mm had its jacket thickened to survive the overly aggressive twist rates used by some in conjunction with very high muzzle velocity, with undesirable terminal changes). I don’t know if its fully warranted to assert that the only people who don’t affirm their use are those who haven’t used them, seems overgeneralized and kind of hard to prove. But I’m glad to hear the input. Any experience with “the other hpbt” bullets mentioned in my original question? Also, in your opinion and experience, would you opt away from tipped bullets in general based on your experience of them being more destructive of meat? Happy hunting! [/QUOTE]
