[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1624654, member: 77631"] I get you. and Think I know why you say that. But that lingo could just go right over my head. You are trying to keep it as a hunting bullet. That would be very neat if you could get it to work. I bet the bigger end is also causing some drag. I need to do more reading on this kind of thing. It very intriguing. On some research I have done about Meplats or pointed tips is a fine point has more drag then a very small meplat. And a interesting thing is the faster the projectile the or aircraft or anything that hits mach 5 or faster. We are not hitting mach 5 that would be 5580 FPS. But still wonder if it could play a part with a bullet? They also say they is no set size to the meplat, but thats it designed for the given nose length. Copy and paste. Not me!!---- Coincidentally, the shape of the nose of an axisymmetric projectile that gives it the least possible [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_drag']aerodynamic drag[/URL] at [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed']hypersonic speeds[/URL] always has a meplat, the diameter of which depends on the length of the nose [/QUOTE]
