[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 476312, member: 10"] M.E. I am also a bit leary of the expansion claims. Yes the tip will help with expansion but being such a hard bullet design, retained energy also has alot to do with bullet deformation. NO bullet energy does not kill big game, but ENERGY does do the work that kills big game, by that I mean energy is what forces a bullet to deform from resistance, energy is what moves vital tissue from its original location and damages it. I still believe 1800 fps should be considered minimum with even these tipped bullets. My wish list would include a 160-165 gr LRX in 7mm that would be longer then a 180 gr VLD from Berger. Loaded in my 7mm AM, and a BC in the mid .6 to low .7 range would really get my attention with a 3500 fps muzzle velocity..... Hopefully they are serious about designing new rounds for the long range big game hunters. We will see. [/QUOTE]
