[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 780871, member: 10"] Not nessesarily, the core they use is very soft anyway. If I had to guess, I would say they did a couple things other then change the core alloy. 1. More aggressive wedge design on the tip and also a deeper hollow cavity under the tip to allow freeer expansion at impact. 2. Redesign the jacket for a thinner jacket at the meplat and ogive. Now, this is just speculation and nothing more but if someone asked how to get better expansion at longer range, these two ways would do it. Their cores are noticably softer lead then a SMK for example. [/QUOTE]
