I think that's quite possibly true. (What a fickle bunch we are eh? wink )

There are a quite a few of these, and it turned out that twice as many FLAT-based bullets had separated jacket from core as had boattails. So I quite worrying about it, and since then have used whichever one shoots best.




Every time I've seen you mention that - the first time, I suppose, in Rifle magazine, I think of one particular Speer I collected; not the Hot-Cors which are "fused":
