[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 241666, member: 4491"] GG, I know what bullet i'll be using if i go hunting bowling balls! on a serious note. my theory on the inconsistances of expansion come from my experimenting with opening up the hollow point. most of the bullets have a cavity that's around .36 deep. but every once in a while, the cavity is full of something. not sure if it's a wax or what it is, but it will be packed full of something. my theory, and i repeat, just my thoughts, i believe this is what causes the non expansion every once in a while. i had a 300 fly through 6 milk jugs and magazines and never expand. just a hole in all the jugs. wish i could tell you this one was plugged full of something but i didn't check it before hand. hadn't developed my theory yet. bottom line. i run a .031 drill in all my bullets and haven't had one not open up. might be much more in the catagory of one of those superstitions some of us have in the hunting/shooting game, but it's what i do.
