Default Timbercruiser Ballistic tips

Timber, I posted on your thread that I have never had any trouble with ballistic tips, which in honesty I haven't, but I recently did a ballistics check on them with a homemade "mushroom" tank. I found that the caps do violently expand and fragment A LOT, however, the remaining mass of the bullet is still quite substantial, possibly why I have never not had an exit wound. With High velocities of mags, your remaining bullet mass may be much smaller than my slower .30-06 rounds, if the entire bullet doesn't fragment completely. For more gauranteed results, I'd go with another bullet though, to be safe.
