[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1988794, member: 30671"] There are a variety of variations to contemplate. A different material in the tip could work, but I think simpler is the better way to go, meaning one piece. Something that can be completed in the machine itself. Eliminate the the HP might be an option for flight, but likely ruins any potential for hunting. Hollow point the rear to change balance? Move in smaller increments, something just a bit longer than the existing 137 HH? Some place along the way it was stated that a 1-6 ratio, caliber to length, was about the limit. All the current "heavy" mono 6.5's that I've looked at fit roughly there, and end up about 140 grains. Steve's currently playing with shape for other purposes, perhaps that change in ogive will permit a longer/heavier 6.5? [/QUOTE]
