[QUOTE="ElCidAviator, post: 2596308, member: 119571"] Tin is less dense than copper by about 18% and is less dense than lead by about 40% (it’s 1am my math could be off). So they are relying on the frangible front half to make the wound channel and but the second half still made of tin is supposed to penetrate? I just don’t know how well tin is going penetrate through bone especially if it’s lost half its weight after the front half fragments off. It seems this would be a better design with a copper outer jacket with bonded or partitioned tin core. [/QUOTE]
