[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 785190, member: 10"] A high density plastic would be the trick but start up manufacturing is spendy and installation is tricky compared to metal. Most of the bullets I am modifying are HP design and most of the SMKs have a sizable hollow cavity under the meplat so there is not a dramatic change in finished weight, just finished bullet length. Been busting on rifles to much the past week to get much testing done. Wanted to do some on Sunday but had to take the chance to get on the range and accuracy test several customer rifles. Next weekend Easter, kids and family events all that weekend so probably not get any more testing done then either. I will be doing ballistic testing on the 175 gr SMK in 7mm in my 7mm AM loaded to +3450 fps with and without tips. Also in my 300 AX using a tipped 240 gr SMK compared to a conventional 240 at around 3250 fps. Then we will be playing with one of my 338 Allen Magnums with the 300 gr SMK loaded to around 3400 fps with and without tips. Will be interesting to see how they do. [/QUOTE]
