Polymer Tip The polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient and also initiates dramatic expansion upon impact - even at velocities as low as 1600 fps. Higher Ballistic Coefficient Hornady combines the sharp, pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAX profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability. Swaged Lead Core The swaging process allows for precise formation of the core up and around the tip, with a cavity under the tip's stem. This allows the tip to build up energy before smashing into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of the core and jacket. Precise Boattail & Flatbase Designs Utilizing the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.
