[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1661626, member: 13833"] Good write up! Ive seen the Sierra matchkings do exactly what you describe with bent noses. they are more susceptible to doing that than a Berger because the angle of attack is less than a Berger, or at least the older ones were.(tangent vs secant) Its not the jacket because Ive used both to make my bullets and the Sierra was actually thinner at the nose. People have used Match Kings for long range hunting but when the nose bends upon impact they immediately tumble which will cause damage even though it never expanded. Not what I want but can be lethal nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
