Ive still got a bunch of those but I'd be happy if they just took a little expansion out of the Remington accutips I'm shooting now. I'm not really unhappy with them now but I'd be happier if they would expand a little less and error on the side of wasting a little energy rather than erroring on the side of running out of energy. Its not just the material, the pocket is too deep
Its kind of like broadheads....the obsession with maximum damage is starting to rob peter to pay paul.
