[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2561910, member: 106845"] More bullets to add to this post. Here are some Hornady A-Tips. I was curious if the larger/heavier 30cal and 7mm versions were made like the .338” AMAX/ELDM- which is constructed more like en ELDX and has a thick tapering jacket along with an interlock ring. What I found that the 30cal and 7mm are like every other A-Tip I’ve cut apart so far, and much like an ELDM. The .338, however, was somewhat similar to the 285gr ELDM, but rather than an actual interlock ring it just has a thicker portion near the base, then abruptly transitions to a thinner area, then tapers out. So in theory it would expand better than the 285gr ELDM, but it still has pretty thick jackets and is also a bit heavier and thus has more sectional density. It wouldn’t be my first choice for hunting. I’ll add more pics. It only allows 10 at a time.
