[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2672810, member: 5352"] You can open the tip but then reduces bc and defeats the high bc/vld purpose. It may make things worse if widen too much as now you have a very thin jacketed hollow point vs a bullet that will penetrate some distance before fragmenting. The match hollow point is really only there as a result of forming the jacket and no tip or lead. Not meant to help expand in any way - only optimize bc and be accurate as possible. In general, they behave just like military fmj but some folks figured out if you keep the jacket thin they fragment reliably (which is not the case with fmj) and work well as game bullet when deep penetration not needed Lou [/QUOTE]
