[QUOTE="Carey Farmer, post: 2620126, member: 122715"] I've seen pretty big differences in muzzle velocity (up to 100 fps) in bullets of different construction but the same weight, using the same powder charge. Heavy jacketed bullets (like Tipped Game Kings) build quite a bit more chamber pressure (and velocity) than is typical of thin-jacketed bullets (like ELD-X's). I haven't shot Ballistic Tips, but I think they have a heavy jacketed base, so might build more pressure (and muzzle velocity) than an SST. [/QUOTE]
