Even saw a couple of bullets that the man could have loaded back in his rifle and shot them again. I hope I am wrong here because they look to be a fantastically accurate bullet which is much needed in the front stuffers world. Just not that many really good high ballistic coefficient bullets out there for us smoke pole shooters. The ones that are have pretty horrible terminal performance. It would be a breath of fresh air to have a high performance bullet that will also have high terminal performance.
Well they certainly fit that bill without the tips, but as you stated time will tell if they can make them with tips that keep the terminal performance at high level. For me personally, I'm not so much worried about the tips... they are very accurate for me without them even using only 100gr BH. At distances up to my current max for hunting (200) I really don't need a huge improvement in BC. Certainly would be nice if/when they do get it all ironed out.
Will be interested in seeing Ron's testing on the tipped version.
