[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1759233, member: 55851"] I don’t have a dog in this fight but I think I’m understanding bigngreen’s interpretation on what makes a bullet function. I believe he is stating that a Berger (hollow point) tip is expanded by hydraulic pressure, thus it penetrates steel (or bone). Where as, an Accubond (tipped point) is expanded by resistance, this not penetrating steel (or bone). So a tipped bullet starts expanding as soon as it meets resistance, but a hollow point requires the inside cavity (mostly water) before it starts expansion. I can buy that. Steve [/QUOTE]
