Well a Goat/Deer Hunting friend over at "Garage Gunsmithing" was looking for a way to get reliable expansion from .30 Caliber Rifle Bullets.....
So I sent him here.
So this helpful info is still making the Rounds.....

I tried two part boolits in the early '70s ... Lyman's two part system and epoxied the parts together. They worked well but after a time I got married, had kids, got more demanding jobs and all that and decided the marginal gain was just not worth the effort.
If I wanted a bullet with "known" expansion characteristics I just went with the J style stuff.
