[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1660963, member: 13833"] It comes down to whether or not the tips are open or closed. If you ding the tip on the magazine and pinch it off, it can pencil like a fmj. Sometimes even if they havent been crimped, they could be closed when formed at the factory. Thats why many of us run a .040" drill bit in the nose. As far as explosive up close, i have seen that happen if you get enough resistance at high velocity (like a heavy shoulder bone) Ive even seen it with Nosler LRAB's with a 150 grain in my 270 ss [/QUOTE]
