[QUOTE="Captn C, post: 187855, member: 9584"] I have been thinking about this for a looooong time. I like the Nosler BT, but I've noticed if I recover a bullet all that is ever left is the jacket only. I have not had any issues with the BT stopping power....BUT my little brains gets to working sometimes.... Why not design a petitioned BT and have it a boat tail?????????? In my limited way of thinking wouldn't you increase the BC of the bullet? *The petition would help lengthen the overall length (copper is lighter than lead in the same area of the bullet)... *The plastic tip is lighter than the normal lead point on a petitioned bullet... *The boat tail would also help increase the length...ever little bit helps?!?!? On closer shot is would help weight retension and the increased BC help for long range shots! Am I way off base with this or does Nosler (or other brand maker) need to hire me?:D [/QUOTE]
