[QUOTE="8x68s, post: 2630369, member: 109828"] I don't necessarily feel that this guy is correct without testing the idea myself but for folks that shoot game beyond, say 600 yds., this method might be helpful with creating a bullet tip that expands better at lower velocities. (Opening meplats certainly helps with expansion, too, but hinders BC's at the same time) Also might be useful for softening the tips of Barnes TSX's. I thought Barnes original formula for their brass (softer) was a good idea, though it resulted in copper sliming barrels. This seems to be a good solution for the newer ones without a tip. I don't have any metallurgy education or training but would molten lead cooling in a bullet like this equate to bonding? Or are bonded bullets done with chemical corrosion? [/QUOTE]
