[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2401672, member: 30902"] It indeed is and I mentioned it but it's definitely worth another mention. The match bullets are solids and don't require the same kind of tricky machining as the cavity of the hunting bullets. There cavity is actually Stepped and the rod holding the tip in place has an air gap below it and there's an air gap just below the tip itself around the shaft. When that tip makes contact they are forced back under tremendous pressure essentially forcing an explosion of compressed air that ensures it opens every time even on smaller think skinned game. Generally expansion looks like a stove pipe effect and may not be real obvious till you put the micrometer to work. More often than not there is a thin flat mushroom that forms but even blow that the bullet is "swollen" if it makes any kind of good contact. 6.5's will regularly expand to 8 or 10 MM at the tip tapering back towards the base.
