[QUOTE="Brent, post: 53294, member: 99"] H-Bar, Any bullet of the same diameter will have the same grooves in it on exit, moly or not... they may be coated grooves but, they have no choice in the matter, they wouldn't make it out the bore without them. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I don't doubt your experiences with moly vs. non-moly, just what you attribute the lack of expansion part to. I've never heard of a geliten test that ever talked of higher penitration with moly or anyone claim such an event. I doubt moly affects initial expantion and thus any further expantion, especially with a polymer tip type bullet or a HP. The bullets integrity is simply comprimised when it hits something at speed, what it hits determines how quick that happens, when this happens it starts slowing down because of the increase in diameter and reduced weight reduce the sectional density... not much to it really. I think the 223 has a thinner jacket than the 30 cal, that would explain the lack of expansion in them small critters when using the Ultra sometimes. That said, I could be wrong too, I'm only speculating on the moly/penitration thing but, I'm of the mind that a pass through shot isn't as bad as most people would like to make it out to be, the more damage done on the way through the better... hit em in the right spot, either way and they're goin down fast.
