prolly so. doesn't make sense to me really. if any thing the faster the bullet is moving should initiate expansion all the more with a bt/accubond/sst plastic tip type bullet.


Yep.

A simple thought experiment should dispel the myth. Consider a soft bullet that blows up too easily at 308 Winchester velocity. Cure the problem by loading it in a 30-378 Weatherby? No, I don't think so.
