[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1839537, member: 13833"] Every Berger Hybrid that I've recovered during testing blows the tip off right above the lead core, which is about 3/8" long, if velocity is high enough. The tip always looks bulged because of the hydraulic pressure entering the tip. This happens; and then what ever expansion of the remaining bullet happens. If velocity is sufficient, it often comes unglued! If its lower velocity, they may expand more typically, or tumble. If velocity is too low to blow the tip off, they tumble nearly every time (banana bullet). I drill them with the .055" for long range because Ive found they blow the tip with about 300' less velocity. b c is the same as not drilled. This is based mostly on testing in media. [/QUOTE]
