[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3033704, member: 13337"] I believe the "silver" is an aluminum alloy,,, I know I read that somewhere back in the 60's. It is much lighter than the lead,,, So when it hits something it's lesser inertia allows it to slow quicker. The heavier lead has higher inertia and tries to keep going,,, Essentially smushing the silver-tip back into the lead causing expansion. I have slept a night or two since I read that,,, But I'm certain I have the memory correct in my head. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
