[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1718325, member: 94491"] fusion is a "plated" type of bullet, not a jacketed, they are higher BC than partition but not tipped problem with modifying the partition is manufacturing process-- it would be hard to keep consistency and quality control while putting a tip on them for better BC-- bonded bullets work similar to the partition but not exactly the same-- the new tlr has a solid copper base, but the copper makes it longer (thus requiring a faster twist rate) or they have to keep the weights lighter than like lead core bullets thus slightly reducing the BC--its all a compromise--until they can come up with a good manufacturing technique to keep the QC high, the partitions wont have a high BC or plastic tip there were some copper/lead bullets that were designed the opposite of the lrx-- with the lead in the back--not sure they are still around [IMG]https://www.fishingmegastore.com/hires/barnes/barnes-mrx-150.jpg[/IMG] then there were the lead in the nose, tungsten flat faced core in the rear bullets-- but tungsten is considered AP [IMG]https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-9f7a38cbaa5fe2a962eda0acfa654037.webp[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
