[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 713281, member: 10832"] I hope this isn't exactly the case. The issue with the AB's weren't just BC. They didn't shed any weight so no secondary wound channels for additional destruction of the vitals. And there are some expansion issues. I would love to see them shed 30-50% of their weight. In my mind an A-max with a bonded bullet would be about the perfect bullet for LR. Something that can still expand down to lower velocities, A-max's now will expand nicely down to 1100-1200 fps, and still shed some weight. I don't think there is any doubt that the Berger concept of initial penetration with an explosion of shrapnel to the vitals is devastating. The issues in some circumstances has been penciling or blowup at entry. If any company could perfect this issue they would be onto something big. A tipped and bonded bullet in some fashion seems to be on the right track to that ideal performing bullet IMO. Finding the right combination while keeping the BC's high will be the key. I wish Nosler well, Like a number of gents have stated, competition is a good thing! Scot E. [/QUOTE]
