There's a bullet weight difference in bergers with a piece of media stuck in the meplat vs those who are clear.....but it's not enough to matter.....but like the wall thickness here it does potentially make a difference in bullet upset, which matters.

That would be helpful. This is like pulling teeth!
Yeah, I'm not exactly clear why I'm needing to make assumptions on the bullet construction from prior reading and then explain so much with the manufacturer here...
Except no one ever explained there was a bullet weight difference, until I pried.
I was aware there is a hollow cavity based on other reading and it seemed fairly obvious with that knowledge that the weight difference would be negligible to thicken that tiny area a little.

Sounds like my .1gr guess was right in the ballpark.

Substitute "weight difference" with "meplat wall th

Hey Sam thanks for sharing the data you have (been following you guys on Instagram for a while now) and the tumbling and fragmenting results look fantastic. Is there a range of impact velocity that you see the bullets most frequently tumble? Is that more common in the single feed vs mag feed? Thanks again!
Hey buddy, sorry this question go left behind. Hopefully some of the answers in other comments will help. Single Feed and magazine feed performance is basically identical until falure and the single feeds have allot lower minimum impact velocity before they reach falure. What we have found is if you are on the line of a bullets stability due to twist they can tumble or yaw after going past minimum expansion velocity. Bullets with higher stability can take longer to tumble after passing maximum effective velocities.

I'm doing my best sir. Feel free to turn me into moderator if you feel like I'm not doing a good enough job.

I just feel like you are advertising, it's not about if you are explaining things good enough.


Seems spamming to me, but I ain't nobody.


I'd consider an advertiser package if you are going to be posting like this for your product. Definitely nice to have interaction with companies on here, get questions answered directly, and in the open.

All trauma pictures are entry holes. Elk no exit found but exits can be small and hard to detect, Mule deer small exit. Pictures are in order.

Hello sir, I am not hear to advertise, I am responding to claims about our bullets and educate on them. I would not be here otherwise.

Definitely seems like advertising.


If you were responding to claims, you wouldn't have started a thread, you would be responding in a thread that someone started that made claims.
