[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2485669, member: 13632"] Barbour Creeks video is relevant, the depth of the nose cavity is important to their function and it looked shallow to me, I do know if you take the same jacket and have lead all the way to the top then they again open well based on some custom bullets made on the same jacket. The other video has no information that I find relevant to any hunting situation. The higher impact looks decent, I think he made a great case for why you need a different bullet at 1550 fps and why you don't test bullets with reduced loads and sink the bullet RPMs, they tumble! There are Bergers I definitely favor over others and you do need to pick based on launch platform. The only 156 we've shot much were in beta testing and into elk which they did excellent but at much higher launch speeds. I still find it hard to beat the 140 vld!! [/QUOTE]
