Title: Bullets for reloading, new stuff.
Post by: WagonWheel on Nov 22, 2024, 07:10 PM
Just some comments and opinions, since none of the shown has been released yet, you can only voice visual assessments.
How does this stuff look to you, from a hunters view, how are these cup and core bullets - designed for walk and stalk out to the 300 m kind of mark. The idea is to have a bullet that would hold together at 80 m bush and forest use, but would reach and function in the clearings as well. BC was not a consideration that had much weight - hunting distances with most shots being 80 to 180 m.
I have come to the conclusion that most hunters reload with 600 m designed bullets all their lives to shoot said 100 - 200 m distances 99% of their lives. These long range hyper BC bullets either zip through or explode and meat damage is huge.
....................and then the imported price   :o
The bullet we have built should be called back to basics + lessons learnt.

Some of our lead stuff we will be releasing soon, leaning toward effective flat fronted bullets which have proven themselves on game.
