To many many of their claims seem like BS. Also the three petal design will have less frontal area than a four petal mono like a barnes TTSX or Nosler E-Tip. Less frontal area=less cavitation=less tissue damage.


And greater penetration.........

Not like a mono really needs greater penetration though.
If the CBB bullets really do expand to 2.5x their diameter than I wonder much that would limit penetration. Frontal area after expansion is primarily what determines penetration, there's no magic involved. Monos with their petals may expand to 2.5x their diameter, but the area between the petals means their is less frontal area to limit penetration. Which is why monos generally "penetrate like crazy".........

And one of the reasons monos tend to have smaller wound channels.
