I was just going to ask about that twist rate thingy, Roy. Before trying them in an old Savage High Power I would want to know how long they are. In my experiments I found .750" length to be about the maximum length for reliable across the board accuracy. (Individual guns, atmospheric conditions, and elevations above sea level being wild cards.)
Brings to mind another question. How deep is the hollow point? If the bullet is too long for reliable use in an 1899, is the cavity deep enough to support shortening of the bullet? Say, you had to remove a bunch off the nose to shorten it would there be enough cavity left for it to behave as planned when impacting a critter?
I kind of like the idea of the front half of such a bullet shattering and the pieces scything through nerves, blood vessels, and organs while the main body plows on through wreaking havoc on its own. I wouldn't mind try some of them, but I'm not keen to spend $85 for a hundred of them for that experiment.
