Re: Making your own polymer tip

The polymer tip in thous rounds are to keep a bullet from premature expansion, like when striking a heavy winter coat. After the round penetrates to the body the much harder surface will force the polymer into the cavity then allow the hallow to expand correctly. This is all in theory of coarse, and to my knowledge the new ones are far better.
