[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 1672324, member: 101145"] I've wondered that point myself and theorize that the jackets of the tipped bullets "may" be a bit thinner to promote upset yet be tough enough to prevent deformation when jammed into a magazine or when shoved from the magazine into the chamber, etc. That is one idea and even if you section a projo to measure metal thickness, you could find it typical of the same manufacturers OTM projos but not be able to see any change in metallurgy because the jacket had been heat treated to achieve a specific temper thus allowing easier (or tougher) upset. Hmm. Inquiring minds wanna know [/QUOTE]
