    @buzzman I think you mean they are have a secant ogive rather than tangent, or more pointy.
    In which case I would say yes they might be the VLD Target ones
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone

    Perhaps they are hybrid bullets. The target and hunting VLD should be the same shape. I have about 400 130 hunting VLD's if you want some.

    you could anneal the tips and that will help them open if in doubt. test it on a bottle or wet news paper. not very scientific but close. also if you aim to hit bone ofr the first few you should get an idea if they are opening. I just got the gf a 260 so looking for some pills. might give @ L.R a Pm
