[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 2526302, member: 32525"] My brain immediately goes to expansion. But then it also goes to durable construction. For expansion, I think of HV as needing more speed to reliably expand…so likely better suited for close to mid range work. But for durability, I think of a bullet designed to hold up to speeds above 3k fps and fast twist rates so they aren’t deforming in flight. Similar to what the Hornady switch from Amax to ELD-M/X series did with the more durable tips, or the Nosler Accubond LR series. I don’t know, I am just describing where my brain goes when I hear the term. [/QUOTE]
