I have a question for you about a theory I have come up with on why there are so many complaints about Barnes X bulletes "penciling thru" or not expanding.

As far as I know you make similar bullets to the X's in that you use a hollow point in solid copper based metal to expand the bullet.

My idea is that the hollow point gets damaged somehow and closed in some. There for nothing tears open on impact and the monolitic bullet does not expand. However with a conventional lead filled bullet the lead is weak underneath and the bullet expands anyway if if it had a hollow point which few do.

Thanks

Mike
I was looking forward to Gerard answering the question.
