[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1920130, member: 88320"] The X has more copper in the base, as the the jacket it goes down the shank it gets thicker and has more in the base. The M's jacket walls stay consistent all the way down the shank and through the base. The X's will/should hold together in the shank part than the M's. This also why the M's are easy to get to shoot because they are more consistent and easier/ repeatable to make (I suppose). As the jacket wall thicken and changes it is harder to be consistent. This is the reason LRAB's are hard to get to shoot. The jacket wall thickness changes during the entire length of the bullet which makes it hard to repeat that process precisely,so slight variations bullet to bullet. The jacket walls in EDLM and Berger's stay consistent throughout the bullet and is why they are more consistently accurate. This is why target bullets often shoot better than bonded type hunting bullets. If you can take cross sections of several of these top bullets and compare side by side you can see what I'm talking about and seems to support my theory. [/QUOTE]
