I DONT THINK WIEGHT HAS MUCH TO DO WITH IT

LOOK AT DPX 53gr 223 or 115gr 9mm DPX

I think it has to do with How the Bullet is made

Like a thick jacket,type of metal used etc!

Just a thought

and yes I use 75gr OTM

FMJ.....are you saying you like 75gr TAP/OTM???  I would have never guessed.  I think the whole ARFCOM forum knows that already!

FMJ likes 75gr OTM? I am shocked

And yes, I dont believe weight is not all that important ...look at corbon ammo and you will know what I'm talking about.

The reason Corbon/DPX can get away with low weight is the small frontal area it has. Those 4 petals have spaces between them, that means less resistance, which means more penetration, which means less weight is necessary. It is all in the design.

DPX is unique in that there is limited expansion and typically 100% weight retention.  Most SP/HP 50-55 gr bullets fragment violently and underpenetrate (except bonded bullets).  Bullet design is critical, but at some point the weight deficit cannot be overcome by design or velocity and a heavier bullet is required.  Given propely designed projectiles heavier bullets will have more robust expansion and better terminal performance.
