[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1166555, member: 8873"] You see, that's where you messed up. You threw common sense into it!:D When I mentioned ES it had nothing to do with with difference in bullet tip heating or degradation from such phenomenon. I was refering to the difference in POI for different bullets with different velocities at extended ranges. I haven't run any numbers but I bet an ES for that errant rount (if it was errant at all) of around 40 could change the POI a couple of inches at 500 yards. One group proves nothing, and like I stated previously- that's a good group! I would be happy with it, and sure wouldn't look at my $5,000 pile-o-bullets and frown upon them. I would just go shoot the crap out of them. I may sound argumentative, and maybe I'm just playing the role of the 10th man. However, I have shot some light to medium weight for caliber Amax/SST/Ballistic tips way faster than 3,000 fps and never had a problem to some very far distances. People have been doing it for decades. I'm not saying Hornady is right or wrong, or it's a conspiracy to sell more bullets. I'm saying that it hasn't been a problem and now all of a sudden it is!? Maybe I'm just a little on the skeptical side. I'm liking their new bullets just for the fact that it seem like part of the evolution of performance, possible better external and terminal ballistics. So what's not to like about them? Those two probabilities alone would have me sold. [/QUOTE]
