[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 2118139, member: 4191"] I have some concerns about how they will shoot. I see some misalignment of the aluminum tips on my Lot of .224 70gr bullets. I suspect it's more difficult to exactly center and place the AL tips into these small caliber bullets, compared to the larger caliber bullets. Not as much meat (copper mass) to secure the tips possibly? And the relatively small diameter of the .224 bullets would also mean more susceptibility to running centrifugally unbalanced. They are more apt to spin unbalanced if the AL tips aren't perfectly centered/aligned because of the lesser copper mass. My initial observation and thoughts... It may be a bit before I shoot them for groups. Cold here now, and in the process of barrel break-in on a couple new barrels, in the mean time. [/QUOTE]
