The bullet caliber I refer to is the .223 variety. Not any bigger, and I don't need to do any more research. If YOU call Sierra you'll find that the SP GK bullet actually has a thicker jacket than the HP GK. Also, the HP GK bullet offered in the .223 is classified as a varmint bullet, and yes, I'm talking about the HP GK, not the HP Varminter.
The Sierra GK HP has a thicker jacket
ONLY in the .30 cal line.
So really, YOU should research a little more!
As far as the Berger VLD's, you are correct. I thought I read on their site that their hunting bullet line was bonded. I was wrong. They're designed to frag.
After the bullet starts to expand it will shed 40% to 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organ). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area (internal organs) that will be 13� to 15� long.
When I said the Gameking HP has a thicker jacket, I was refering to the post in which I quoted. The one about 7mm bullets. Not 223.As far as the 30cal HP GameKing being the only one with a thicker jacket, well I can see you didn't do your research.
The 257. 120gr gameking HPBT
The 264. 130gr Gameking HPBT
The 277. 140gr GameKing HPBT
The 284. 140gr GameKing HPBT
The 284. 160gr GameKing HPBT
The 308. 165gr GameKing HPBT
are all considered to have thicker jackets or be tougher according to Sierra.
