[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1410556, member: 87243"] The reason why they are so close in external dimensions yet one is 4 grains heavier is because the eld-x has a tapered jacket that is much thicker at the base, where the eld-m has a consistent thickness jacket throughout. And because copper is lighter than lead, the 147 has more mass in the same externally sized bullet as the 143, because there is more lead and less copper. You may have seen this on another thread, but I'll post another members picture, I forget who it was, but they did an excellent job sectioning these bullets. [ATTACH=full]92055[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
