ok i was thinking about bullet designs and i dont know if this would work or not but here it is. ok starting off with any pointed bullet and was thinking as a design making it look kind of like a broad head would look like, but not as thin as that, just having 4 gruves or whatever it takes to make it accurate on the slope of the bullet. i would think it would make it go throught the wind easier if it was like that, but maybe not. i dont know if anything has been made like that or not.

You obviously don't understand why broadheads are shaped the way that they are. A broadhead is shaped the way that it is to be able to cut easier,not because it provides less air resistance or flies truer.Target points are shaped like a bullet so that they fly truer.

so you dont think i would matter at all. even with the way it spins. i'd still think with how fast a bullet is moving it would do something.

The more symetrical a bullet is,the better the chances of it flying true.Grooves of any kind will create more drag and reduce the ballistic co-efficient.

Good idea...coming from someone who's never even shot a rifle...

i've shot lots of rifles.

Any sort of even thesmallest blades on the tip of a bullet would probably severely affect the spinof the bullet and effectively turn it's BC into a more or less blunt tip...but that's just how I'm guessing it would work out. I couldn't say for sure, though,because I'm notcertain it's ever been tried.

ya it was a stupid question but i thought i'd ask anyway.

NS, don't be afraid to askquestions. You've just learned something new, and you will be able to learn a lot from the people on this site.

ok thanks. what do you think would be a good price for new unprimed brass for a .223 i found them in 100 pack by remington for about 32.00.
