VTbowman Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 -left in the animal??? I have switched almost exclusively to bullets with some sort of poly or "Ballistic" tip. I feel then to be more uniform in shape and construction over a lead tipped NP or simular bullet. JMO I did so also with my ML sabots this year using the ShockWaves. I was wondering if anyone has found bits and/or pieces of the "poly" in the animal they harvested? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robk Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: Ever find any poly tip...... the poly tip or aerotip is made and used for a more uniform use in making sure it helps the bullet mushroom and the polymer i also there for smoother flight you will also notice on the shockwaves/ssts that there is a crimp look where the polymer tip sets in when it is driven back into the bullet the the tip pushes the sides out equally or that's what it is supposed to do and help in keeping the weight retention more to it's fullest weight. also they have found it looks better than the old silver tip ballistic tips of old. hope this explains what is up witht he tip and it helped you out rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
