[QUOTE="TonyY, post: 20880, member: 39"] Dave I could'nt agree with you more but only as a match type of bullet. You probably would'nt get much expansion from an alloy bullet and I can't think of too many thick skined animals that I would use light 80 gr bullets on. I read a couple of articles on tungsten alloy or core bullets and at some point they come close to becoming armor piercing so you start to cross the line of a class III projectile. Good old BATF rules. I'll try to see if I still have the articles or the reference. Also if I remember velocities were high causing excess barrel wear and the cost of manufacture was high where they would not be profitable. [/QUOTE]
