[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1284574, member: 86754"] Actually the SP is the spitzer, the PPT is the "Protected Tip", basically a flat meplat. This bullet works well in short magazines ( i.e. I had to use it in a Mod 70 FWT in 300WM) It is debatable if the spitzer flies flatter as some say the lead tip melts off anyway. I never worried about it as (1) I don't shoot at game past 400yds, average around 250yds, and (2) many believe the BC is more dependent upon the ogive shape rather than the tip. Rule of thumb seems to be use a spitzer for long range, of any make. Have a ball sir! [/QUOTE]
