I don't think is what happen at the impack of the bullet, but it's flight path change some down range. Not much, but some.

It won't effect the terminal performance. @fordy tried to make them fail by damaging them. He did find some way to cheat and make one fail. I don't remember now what it was. Something like hitting a tree first. Maybe he will answer that.

By the way. I have put in a bunch of the tips and I haven't seen a deformed one yet. So there is not that many. I know one of the batches that we got had to sorted because they had some trouble with the mold. This is why we spent the money to get our own mold. This way we have much better control. We also try to make sure that each box of bullet comes with a couple extra tips.
Hard to push in low capacity cartridges. 6x6.8, 6x47 (rem) etc. just can't get them to shoot well. Even in guns that shoot everything well. But I'll try some of these tipped versions.

The mud caked hogs were good pictures, bullets had to get through about 4 fingers worth to perform.

Yes the one hog was so caked with mud it looked difficult to live! And the stuff was hard!

If you are not getting to pressure before you run out of case capacity you might need to look at a faster powder.

Like Steve said, you have to use different powders. I've got my 6BR up to 3000 FPS with a 69gn AH, used Accurate 2460 and 1680. That's a solid 5-7gn less of water capacity than a 6x47, from a 14" pistol barrel, and not the lightest bullet they sell in 6mm. Varget was awful to work with even though it's pretty much the standard powder for the case.

I believe that Stave told everyone this when he announced the tips being available!
He's not a multi-million corporation with tremendously deep pockets . We should be thankful that they are offered and we didn't have to wait until he acquired the machine to install the tips.
With our continued purchasing…..the machine can be bought sooner!
Until then, "suck it up buttercup"! Others will enjoy using a great bullet, in spite of a small inconvenience! memtb

Actually ButterBean would most likely want a blue tip. I am the one who would like a pink tip.

Transparency has its cost. @RockyMtnMT has from the beginning listed his phone number on a public forum. He'll even provide an in person face to face. @ButterBean has as well.
Good folks.
I learned so much from my grandad a couple come to mind: 1) Never bother the monkey about the music, go straight to the organ grinder. 2) Just cause the dogs bark no need to stop the car.
