Interesting lead free bullet design/concept

I found this short gel test video ...
I wonder what the length to weight ratio is? Might have to get a 7 twist .308 to shoot 180s. Curious to know what they were using for gel in the video? It looks like they are shooting into a swimming pool. They look like a spectacular deer/pronghorn bullet.

Whats the jacket made of? I guess I don't understand. She says the "core and jacket are made of tin alloys", but I don't understand how that works with the same metal.
I probably should refrain from posting at 1am.

Evostrike- eco friendly lightweight tin
Ecostrike- copper monolithic
Bondstrike- bonded lead core
Tipstrike- conventional cup/core with core lock crimp
Diamond- Molly coated match bullet
Oryx- round lead nose bullet
Vulkan- hp lead core bullet with "lead lock"

Evostrike along with the Ecostrike are their lead free options. Tipstrike is their polymer tipped lead version. In addition to the 3, they also have Bondstrike.

It looked like a tipped Kalahari to me...I guess it's different.

Looks to be a great bullet for terminal performance, but probably not a good long range hunting option. Without the weight that lead provides, the BC of that bullet will plummet.
Man i do like her accent. And hey if you happen to eat some bullet fragments no worries. Tin is good for the bone structure, boosts your immune system, and is known to prevent cancer! Bullets/multi vitiamins all in one box. Seriously though glad to see more options.

They are short range bullets at best, WW makes lead free .22LR bullets that are good for 50 feet. They will be light for caliber otherwise you will need an unheard of fast twist barrel and then not have any room for powder in the case. Tin is less dense than steel if you've ever shot steel shot vs lead this will be even worse.

At the 1:50 point, she states that these bullets are nickel plated, part of their design for penetration I'm sure although they state it helps with barrel wear. The jacket is supposed to be a tin alloy.
She also mentions that the front core is pre-fragmented.

I think the real comparison here is how they stack up to other mono bullets made from copper/coper-alloy. Which will have the better performance vs. BC.
