Mods, if this isnt allowed please remove.

This is part of the reason ive hardly been on here of late....i plan to change that though

I have been working on these for a while and finally got them sorted. they are a expanding one end but solid the other and you load them with the exact same load same seating depth etc and they shoot to the same point.
The recoverd bullet my wife shot through a pig on a dam bank and the bullet was recovered out of the dirt these are the .375 275gr.....the short one in the middle is my .375 200gr

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Do you load them either end up depending on whether you want a solid or expanding bullet? If so that's an interesting concept.

Thats exactly it, both ways shoot the same.... same powder charge either way, seating depth etc...completely the same.

Hey, that's kind of like a Nosler Partition. Load them pointy for bolt guns, flat nose forward for tube mags! grin

Looks like an "improved" Cutting Edge Raptor".

The radial expansion cuts are interesting. Wonder how they react to a barrel twisted the wrong way?

Looks to me as if they have been copied off the Cutting Edge bullets, except they don't provide for plastic tips.

Its quite different to the raptor, material wise as well as design wise. These shoot to same poi with same load either way round unlike the raptor

What it the longest distance you've tested this claim?

As a solid does it perform in a similar fashion to the Woodleigh Hydro-static bullet?
