[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2784676, member: 104363"] There are some pistol bullets out there that have segmented ogives. Have not looked at those as to why. In my math, increased area offers more drag. I'm not sure how the rifling mis-indexed to the flutes would do either. Is it no biggie or a variable speed bump? There really isn't anything offered as to how much better this is vs. a well known bullet. That kind of testing is expensive and requires a lot of review. Maybe the paying students are the testers. My hunting buddy is going to this school in June. Thompson claims it was a good change that shows up down range. Maybe we shall see one day. [/QUOTE]
