[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1670377, member: 94491"] #4-- I know a guy who has tested lots of different bullets for expansion, in his testing the HP bullets expand better than the tipped bullets--both at high velocity and low velocity even though some manufactures claim that the tip helps promote expansion, the question is "over what?" he even compared same weight ttsx barnes to tsx barnes both at 50 yards, and "reduced load" longer ranges and the non tipped seems to open more reliably and to a larger diameter and quicker than the tipped bullets the downfall of non tipped is they loose a bit of BC to their tipped brothers. He even went so far as to remove the tip from several different bullets and then compare expansion, and once again the bullet with the removed tip expanded better than the tipped version to some extent the smaller the HP, the less reliable the expansion though--hence the reason that HH bullets use a minimum HP diameter of 1.5mm [/QUOTE]
