[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1288172, member: 30902"] The whole purpose of those tips is to ensure consistent expansion at a broad range of velocities. I've shot various types of tipped bullets since first trying the NBT's in the early 90's on hundreds of game animals, varmints, and predators, and I have yet to see one fail to initiate expansion. I have seen some where the tip was broken off with just a shaft remaining that didn't seen to expand as consistently but they all made a bigger hole on the way out than they did on the way in. Hollow points on the other hand can get completely clogged and fail to open at all and if the hole does not go all they way through to the lead core, they can fail to open. [/QUOTE]
