It also looks funky in how it would fly vs a spire point. Anyone tried these for accuracy and velocity drop off at long range?
I am not the best at explaining much - but the bullet works by collecting fluids and fluid like tissue in the flute of the bullet. The flute is wide at the top of the bullet and then narrows to very narrow channel at the end of the flute. The material is collected in the flute and compressed to a very tight stream (like what you can do with a nozzle on your hose). It is then forced through the flute and then up and out. The velocity and volume of the flute in the bullet determines the velocity and the force that the stream has on surrounding organs and tissue.
If you have ever seen a water cutting torch work that is in effect what the bullet is doing.
This picture shows the different XP's and you can see as the caliber increases in size so does the size of the flutes.
Hope this makes some sort of sense.
