[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2487205, member: 116181"] Not those exactly, but they're essentially what the Hornady CXs should be. Polymer tip, and the only way to get 95% weight retention is to mushroom and not shed petals like CE and Hammer. Steve at Hammer made a very interesting point about wound channel characteristics in another thread. Basically amount to mushrooms tend to stretch/tear tissue, which results in a smaller permanent wound channel for blood loss compared to cut tissue like you get with a mono that sheds petals and ends up with a blunter face. Makes me wonder if that's why subsonic coppers kill like the do, there's more sharp edges on the expanded surfaces of the butterfly bullets that cut more than tear. [/QUOTE]
