Another thing I remembered is that high BC HP bullets typically have a cavity at the tip thats not lead filled due to manufacturing techniques I guess.
I'm kinda afraid pressure would deform that very tip wenn loaded backwards causing BC inconsistency or assymetric dispersions? Any experience with that?

I dont think that would happen, those SMKs are really tuff, shoot a 220gr into a pce of seasoned beech log, it penetrated 7 inches, we split the log and its still embeded w/o any deformaty.. Igt looks like it could be loaded and shot again,,, FWIW.
