Are these two bullets of significantly different construction - different core design? Is the Hot Cor a less frangible bullet that holds together better?
Can anyone speak from personal experience that there is a tangible benefit of the Hot Cor over the BTSP? The reason I ask is I have several guns that shoot the BTSP much more accurately than the flat-base Hot Cor. So I was wondering about how they compared on deer. Frankly, I'm very practical about this stuff - any decent reputable modern bullet, any reasonable caliber, good shot placement from any reasonable distance equals successful hunt - so I don't pick this kind of thing apart much. But I am curious about Speer. If the Hot Cor is a "better" design, why wouldn't they implement it in their boat tail bullets? Why have a better flat-base than boat tail?
Or maybe I just don't know enough about Speer's products.
thanks, jake
