It might be because with the 20" barrel the velocity isn't exactly stellar (2,875fps)

I see TARGEX made good points about "points" in another thread on projectile preformance....I wonder if a slight opening of the tip of them bergers might change them up to a completely different beast???? not suggesting anything too drastic but a gentle filing back to lead or drill of say 2mm to open jacket at tip might be just the ticket.......
