Years go CVA offered a similar sabot called a Slick-Load. That was until for some magical reason they began to claim sabots would not load easy enough if you dont swab between shots. The Blue Diamond ML bullet has been around since at least 2010 and received very little if any attention.
The Bleed bullet clearly states its a jacket with a compressed powdered metal core. That is a pretty common design for frangible bullets made for limited penetration situations and varmint type bullets. Im pretty sure DRT makes those for Traditions.
Why frangible bullets?
We are conscious about the environment and with the trend toward lead free ammunition we are one step ahead of our competitors. Our core is encapsulated in copper just like others, but we use a core of powdered metal not lead. We start with a fine mesh powder to make the core (much like the mesh of face powder). Once completed you have a projectile with unheard of accuracy at distance with terminal ballistics ensuring your trophy is down where you hit them.
