[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2608641, member: 112571"] Yes, the bore riding feature is part of our patent pending geometry and what keeps the bullet aligned with the bore while significantly reducing friction. As far as the terminal appearance, we usually do have a flat front with shed petals, and you cannot drive them too fast. The faster, the better the performance, and the deeper the penetration. As the velocity drops into the lower registers near our extreme minimum (1650 fps), the front gets a little "chippy" with larger petals. This is a function of material that allows frontal fracture when fired at lower velocities. Our minimum recommended impact velocity is at a point that expansion is still very early, all petals separate with consistency, and the base stays straight for the predominance of its travel. It may or may not dip at the very end of its travel, really depending on the medium that its shot into. In wet newsprint, it stays perfectly straight, and penetration is good. Remember, the petals are very large in this scenario and do a lot of damage themselves. This ensures shots at extended ranges on typically broadside animals still see exemplary performance. To reiterate, this is our minimum recommendation, and is very low for a mono-metal bullet. Below are pictures of two recovered shanks fired on the same day showing the two extremes.
