It also looks funky in how it would fly vs a spire point. Anyone tried these for accuracy and velocity drop off at long range?
Tx, the flutes cut into the nose of the bullet create a sort of "vortex" in tissue with higher fluid content. It's quite devastating to the internal organs as several hogs dropped by my .458 SOCOM will attest to
I know the 305 grain I loaded up for my .458 flew very well grouping right at 1 Inch. And that was with very little playing around with loads. I could probably get it even better. I have yet to have a chance to get out and shoot some of the 250's that Ron just tested for accuracy out of my .50 TC but I soon will. I'll test them at 150 yards with 100-120gr BH with MMP blacks more than likely. I also have some crush rib laying around that I could try as well.
