[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1178792, member: 13833"] I started making some for closer shots with a double jacket. I swage a 264 jacket, which is about .900" long into the Sierra or J4 at 1.15" with the lead core, and they still have the thin nose, but hold together much better. They actually shoot pretty well. I had a buddy shoot an elk intentionally in the center of the shoulder. (spring depredation hunt) The bullet penetrated most of the way through the opposite shoulder and stopped just short of the hide. It retained about 1/2 the weight and messed that cow up pretty good. She went straight down! This was with a 300 saum at 150 yards. I also made a partition by seating an even shorter 264 jacket inside with a double pure lead core. These worked pretty well too, but I actually liked the way the double jacket performed a little better....Rich [/QUOTE]
