[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1130823, member: 2011"] POP, gets kudos for this post. All other info, to me, was marketing and excitement generation. Having said that I am very pleased that Hornady has stepped up and made a change. I also based on the PDF if POP's post wouldn't hesitate to give the XLD a good try. However, it's all moot to me. As, the only two calibers in which I have interest have no XLD offerings, i.e., 277 and 375. Thus I'll stick with my Sierra 350 SMKs with the DIY brass tip in 375 cal and since my 270 AM is extinct VLDs will do in that caliber. As for polymer vs brass tips, regardless of melting points, brass can be machined tolerances can be as consistent as polymer molded tolerances. However, the cost per tip would be a bit higher for brass over polymer. However, w/proper design of bullet and tip I'm confident that bc increase over polymer would be well worth the pennies. Just say'n. [/QUOTE]
