The Tipped Bullet
Tipped bullets were
introduced in the
eighties
with
Nosler’s Ballistic Tip.
The tip is driven into
the bullet upon
impact, allowing for
quick
expansion.
However,
the
absence of design
features
often
meant that the
bullet wasn’t the
most beautiful thing
to look at once
recovered.
Many preferred the Bronze Point, but most would agree that it expanded way too
quickly. These frangible bullets are great for mid-sized game, but one would always
prefer a tougher companion while hunting larger game.
