[QUOTE="Guest, post: 24139"] [b]Why isn\'t this bullet?[/b] I almost started to produce my own bullets in order get the perfect expansion.It seem obvious to me.Start with something like a Matchking.We already know the strong points of the MK's.But now lets take the nose,say the first 25% of the bullet and make it really thin.Too fragile? Fine. Plug it with a polymer tip.Now what we should have is a bullet that is just about perfect. If it will shoot. I heard a friend complaining the other day that he shot a small whitetail doe in the throat straight on.With his 7mm mag. He was dissappointed with the lack of expansion. I wasn't really surprised by the bullets performance.There probably wasn't more that 5 inches of meat there. This would have been the perfect situation for the explode-a-point matchking.The nose would have blew up like a varmint bullet.Perfect for that situation. Lung shot on whitetail? Nose blows up then the rest of the bullet takes over.Middle section moderately expands and makes a big hole in the lungs.Solid base punches through. The solid base also comes into play on a straight away shot. The only bullet I think comes close is the partition.But the B.C. isn't that good and I can't get the things to shoot well anyway.So what am I missing here? Why hasn't this bullet already been made? Or has it? [/QUOTE]
