I did not think you needed a 06 to sell just the projectile.

Looks cool, and it should upset violently if the British 303 cal. did with a wood filler in the nose is any indication of potential.

Would that alloy hold up at 3000-3200 FPS? I bet that'd be killer in a 300WM

Yes. It's very similar to the Hornady  .50 cal AMAX.  I loaded thousands of them at Barrett. I asked Hornady about a rebated boat tail when we were doing suppressor work. They wouldn't do it..  We had to get solid copper bullets turned on a cnc lathe.

Eagerly awaiting accuracy and gel tests.



I would expect the bullet to fly basically like a JHP round.

are you sure about that? I am very far from an expert, but with the little bit of knowledge I have that seems a bit high even given the favorable shape.

Seems high to me too. I'd guess it's .75 G1, based on nose profile and boattail. Maybe lower. That is a kinda blunt nose.

edit: nevermind, I think Fat_McNasty was laughing at his own error and in my tiredness I missed the joke.

2nd edit: on second thought, a quick search reveals other bullets with BCs in this range, I just never heard of them. Perhaps I should learn more before I comment on things like this.

Yup I think I glitched Daves program (or holy balls i got a wiener).. Ill give him a call tomorrow and check my source.
ya big diffrence between .729 via the java and Corbins design program spitting out the .9664 value. BUT it is a ULD design so its possible. FYI im playing with a 14-caliber secant with .014-inch offset from tangent. so its hella pointy. the point is a blunt .021 dia.

OH fuck!

sorry. I updated the one in reload and not here..  Ok at 100 yards, I got 10-11 inches of penetration into sim-tech gel. its a bit thicker than normal gel and simulates straight up muscle tissue. upon impact the bullet tumbled like crazy and stopped to rest pointing backwards. Grouping was meh, I really need to scrub my gun then try it again. but I was getting in the 1.5-2 moa area. I really need to build a bolt gun to really wring out my loads.



been slammed this week and have not been over to talk to Dave on the BC of these

I have a reamer real similar to that. And sizing dies. And pointing dies, and neck turning tools.

I think a 6.5-.284 set is next.

I can't see the point of that bullet.  Heavy bullets are intended for sub sonic loads, low drag bullets don't really make sense for sub sonic loads.

Depends if it's thrown from a treadmill.

Any chance of you ever experimenting with a .311-.312" version, say about 175-180gr rebated boat-tail?

Just curious.

ETA: Yes, basically a Mk.7 .303 bullet, I know.

So it didn't open up?  I assume having the CG so far back aided the tumbling...  No doubt it's lethal... The question... how do you make a bullet essentially detonate on impact at low velocity?

What part of OR are you in?  I'm curious how you make such awesome things.  

My employer obtained a Type 10 FFL in September,  but they won't let me touch it at all until the new year.  It's crazy,  our tech department (which handles the FFL) is balls deep in phone calls,  and every machinist is sitting around idle on the later half of the week.  I just want to make some cool stuff like you.
