Hey Easo, Santa gave me a nice DVD for Christmas. (I must believe in Santa or where do the gifts come from?) I understand the DVD is a heart warming story about a man and his horse.

OH,NO! I just took a look at the DVD and its actually called WARHORSE ! It's a WAR story ! Damn ! I wonder how I get it back to Santa?

That is an interesting link Mike. They identified another aspect of the bullet's behaviour that I hadn't picked up on and that's the tendency for them to break up due to the two piece core. Did the designers know exactly what they were creating? Makes me doubt the veracity of Temple's statement all the more.

or that Temple was simply (blindly?) quoting from the official line about the reason for the construction. As I think you alluded to earlier, the Brit Govt would hardly want the terminal effect publicized. Or maybe the terminal effect was an unintended (but secretly welcomed) consequence of the design. We'll probably never know which came first.
