    Yes. I've looked at their website. They have a link to this. https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/10/5a/2f/0621f984dff0af/US7219607.pdf And, this youtube fella has played around with smokeless powders in muzzle loaders. So, I think it would be possible for a 45 acp pressured copper...

    file:///C:/Users/pbj/Downloads/Third%20Generation%20Long-Range%20Rifle%20Bullets%20(V%200.4)%20(1).pdf This article by Boatright is a long discourse about what he calls ULD bullets. They are long, copper bore riding bullets with hollow bases that self align upon chambering and they will...

    I think a bullet that can do this https://files.osgnetworks.tv/9/files/2013/08/federal_hst_ammo_11.jpg at sub-transonic velocities would be good. I have gotten HSTs to do this at high 900 fps muzzle velocities in jugs of water. I need to test them through wood or heavy clothing and then into...

    So, kind of like this? https://www.nosler.com/30-caliber-170gr-rn-partition-50ct.html, but with a flat nose? Do the bullets have a lead core in the base as well as in the nose? There is this image too...

    2 to 3" at 100 yards is deer MOA!

    Some highlights from: Bullet Obturation of Rifle Barrels James A. Boatright December 13, 2018 Introduction The sealing, or obturation, of the hot gasses produced during combustion of gunpowder propellants is a significant concern in interior ballistics. Leakage of some of the hot gasses...

    http://www.guns.connect.fi/gow/highpow.html This is an article by Mark White about suppressor design with a section about bullet design for subsonic work. I like the graph with velocity on the X axis and decibels on the Y. It's another illustration of how impactful the transonic zone is...

    impact extrusion for bullets for handgun cartridges

    The ideas come cheaply and easily. The R&D part requires a bit more capital investing. I would need the machinery that Nosler has, and all of the hand loading equipment of which I have none currently. So, what kind of accuracy have you gotten with your Nosler bullets out of your muzzle...

    impact extrusion for bullets for handgun cartridges

    Thank you. I recon I'll have to stick with the standard flat based, heaviest for caliber cup and core hollow point options for now. I wish there were more 250+ grain options for 45 acp to run through my suppressed 16 inch barrel. Those would be truly sub-transonic. The 230 grain options are...

    impact extrusion for bullets for handgun cartridges

    Greetings, I am interested in the optimization of pistol cartridges for use in PCCs such that the projectiles would be launched at sub-transonic velocities and that the bullets would be suppressor friendly. I currently have a Ruger LC carbine chambered in 45 acp with a 16" barrel. I run it...
