JB--thanks for the info on bullet construction and performance. Have you been able to shoot anything yet with the 243 ETip?
My main point is that the small cal monos don't leave much of a hole anyway, so I haven't been able to see much difference between the 80tipped and the 85standard. Both kill well so far as monos go.....As to BC on those two bullets, I've calculated only about a .02 difference in favor of the tipped.....
I'd still like to see a Barnes design that blows the petals off on purpose once inside the animal, similar to the GS Customs (from what I've read). To me, that would give the benefits of both a high expander and a mono. Ross Seyfried once wrote about scribing the jacket on a Partition to force it to shed the front core and then penetrate like a wadcutter--I think that might be doable with a TSX also.
