The Ultimate Combat Round

GT, why don't we just use FMJs with really, really thin jackets?

 

[PercyShelley]

There are "copper washed" bullets, which I think are just electroplated. That may not leave enough copper to protect the core from the rifling and vice versa. I don't know if conventional swaging methods could make a much thinner core either.

What about really thin near the tip? that wouldnt interfere with the rifling, but would fragment better wouldnt it?

also, if you want a bullet that will penetrate, use solid turned bullets. I use some 109gr 6.5s that have a .595 BC rating! they wouldn't be very leathel, but they have great ballistics

Enuf already. Go back to the first post. Read the thread. Then start a new thread--but not until after having read it all.
