    As soon as I read you writing about hearing about that theory I called my supplier with the intention of confiscating his Amax's in exchange for my money.
    Bullets are consumables.
    They never seem to get cheaper.

    I do have to ask; has anyone on here actually had any problems with plastic tip melting actually making a difference at the distances you are shooting them at?

    Looks like good times ahead for Berger too!

    This sounds like a mind fuck post to drop the ass out of the price of the projectiles in question that people have

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
