[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1664872, member: 7999"] My problem with a tip is it is a plug in the hole that needs to evacuate before expansion can begin. Once the tip is removed then they very easy to get to open because the evacuated hollow point is rather large. If the bullet tips or yaws after impact before the tip can get out of the way it will be a failure. To me the tip is definitely an aid in bc. It has been marketed as a terminal performance aid. I think it is more of a way to produce clean fronted bullets in the swaging process that is nicer than the old lead tipped bullets for in the magazine and feeding etc. I think they are a step down in the bullets ability to expand properly from the old exposed lead tip bullet. If you remove the tip from a tipped bullet I guarantee that it will open easier than it does with the tip installed. My .02 [/QUOTE]
