Expansion tip tool
 

Mo Semi or UC, not what you think! Anyone ever try this? Looks interesting and devastating if it does what it says. I wonder about it catching or breaking off on the lands in the barrel? Course i don't know squat either.

A well placed round ball is deadly with out any of that stuff done to it.
About 15 years ago our local Gander Mountian boughtI think it must have been about 5 truck loads of them. After the season was over and they had just sold a few they discounted them to 50 cents a package. I think they still put a bunch in the dumpster.

I had one years a go, after doing some experiments with it I throw it away.
The problem as I see it.
PRB changes shape a lot as it penatrates, it flattens the folds back into a sort of ball shape but it does stay together; When you start using those littlle tools on it it will cause a 54 or any thing smaller to break up into peices, I never tried it on any thing bigger than a 54 cal so I can not say much about the larger cal. I was using a 45 and a 54 the 45 was loaded with 90gr RS the 54 with 120 gr RS.Lee

Many years ago a friend had one and we played with it. He liked the star head. I played with the cross tip. We shot into sand buckets. There was no increase in expansion and there really was no accuracy advantages. After trying it a couple of different times on different material to see if something would make the ball expand.. we decided the roundball did not need any help.

Looks like just another gimmick. First time I have ever seen anything like that. Maybe Frontier Gander could use them for additional modification to his Powerbelts...;)
