All of you guys out there that have spent some time testing bullets: Have you noticed that most of the manufactures use a HARD lead alloy? The only reason I can see for doing that is to help control expansion (which should be the jackets job). I think its done because thinner jackets are usually more accurate. What I have found is that PURE lead performs much better (especially at long range) which is of interest to most of us. The pure lead is much more malable (sticky) so doesn't fragment near as easily. I like to use a thinner jacket (especially at the nose) and chemically bond it to the core. This seems to give the ultimate in long range performance.......Rich
