[QUOTE="B23, post: 1665063, member: 13222"] Yorke and I both thought the results of these 135gr A-Tip was very similar to how the Lapua .338 300gr Scenar bullets perform. Maybe it's just me, but I was rather surprised at how the aluminium tip appeared to not be even the slightest bit deformed. Other than being slightly bent, the tip looks pristine. I'm not a bulletsmith, nor do I claim to be, but do y'all think the reason these things don't want to expand is because there is no void behind the tip? I understand the jacket appears to be a little thicker but I tend to think because there is no void behind that tip, and the lead core supports the jacket all the way up to the tip, it makes it difficult for any kind of uniform expansion to start as the bullet impacts. Thoughts??? [/QUOTE]
