[QUOTE=btroj;2702121]I am assuming that this alloy isn't likely to expand much on impact? I don't care about expansion but like the fact I understand it isn't brittle and therefore isn't likely to go to pieces on impact.

The alloy shows "some" expansion but it is not gonna give you a textbook "mushroom" ever. Put some meplat on it and giver the juice....then they work just great with Michigan whitetails. They do not show any "brittle" tendencies whatsoever....none....notta. I have caught a few in water ( I get to tear down the occassional above ground pool and shoot it first) and the boolit normally starts to do a rivet action on the nose and sometimes depending on length/diameter they will swell up mid boolit as if they are being "squished" from both ends. From 7mm@2500 to 35@ 2400 and 2700 they work just great and accuracy has to be seen to be believed.

I have almost 500 rds loaded for that Whelen...sometimes I have to simply go out and test my welding ability on my plates ya know. Glad you liked my Whelen......I still thank Lastmanout for selling it to me everytime I take her for a walk out back to beat on steel.
