[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1178722, member: 4191"] They'd splatter pretty hard on the entry side of animals with high velocity impacts. But they would expand more reliably, IMO. The most massive entry side damage I've observed on a large game animal was with a tipped-bullet similar to Berger construction, impacting a caribou @ 2900fps. Tipped bullets need a stouter jacket to reduce explosiveness at high impact velocity. However tipped Bergers would likely perform well at long range, reduced velocity impacts. As in ~1300 - 2300fps impact velocities. Much of this knowledge comes from '[B]elkaholic[/B]', a forum member with a lot of experience making and tested tipped bullets using jackets similar to the Berger J4 jackets. [/QUOTE]
