[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2426352, member: 30902"] If I had to guess I'd say that in all likelihood the tip wasn't properly opened so it failed to expand. We had a lot of guys here with that problem and they had to solve it by taking a pin and pushing it into the tip to ensure it was open all the way down into the lead. The other issue is that they can sometimes get clogged with dirt, hair, tissue etc preventing proper expansion. That's why so many of the manufacturers have gone to using various types of metal and polycarbonate tips to ensure consistent opening. [/QUOTE]
