aluminum tipped subsonic bullets
A question for all
Over the last month I have been getting tooling to put aluminum uld tips on alot of long range bullets including 338,308 and 7mm's.A thought has occured to me,with a slight change in design,the aluminum tip could act as a wedge in a subsonic round,causing massive expansion.There are 2 area's in which I have concern
1) overall length.The tip is 1.0550 inches long with approx .500 extending down into a hollow cavity made for the shank section.The overall length will be increased by .550,which is the length of the tip above the jacket mouth.
Useing a 1.4" jacket(shorter is possible) will result in a 1.9" approx long bullet.
It will have a uld design,if the bullet has reliable expansion can it be used because of it's extreme length
2) on fragile j-4's where the bullet pretty well comes apart,the aluminum tip which weighs approx. 22 grns will not even be distorted by that velocity. It will continue to penatrate somewhat, after expanding the bullet,tumbling I'm sure. Will it be a problem???
any input will be appreciated,I am a rooky on this slow stuff and need some coaching
thanks
