I acquired these unlabeled 90grn, .224 bullets. They seem to have a slight step in the base, hopefully the pictures capture that. they are also hollow point.Any information or guesses are appreciated. Thank you.

That looks like it 4570..read up a bit on their website, interesting. Anybody have any experience shooting .224's this heavy? Seems a pretty specialty affair..

If it was done with Corbin's equipment, it's a lead core, no harder the bn14. Any harder then that an you risk breaking the dies. Most jacketed swaged bullets are done with soft lead.

I made some 130 gr. SWC .224 once upon a time, and yes, a very specialty affair...
BTW, they probably are from Corbin dies.

How many obama supporters does it take to change a light bulb? None, they prefer to remain in the dark.

For a hornet........... Right?
How did you know? The bullet is long enough to seat right on top of the primer, which gives the primer more oomph. If you use a magnum primer packed with Bullseye as tight as you can, you can almost get the bullet out the end of the muzzle.
Actually, I used the 130's working up subsonic .223 loads.

Hi If you look at pictures of lapua bullets. They have kind of that tail. I also remember maybe Hornady made a boattail with that look. I do not know about .224, I shot them in .308. Good luck! jim
Thanks again guys. So what I'm gathering is these have no practical application in the .223/556 cartridge, requiring more case capacity to motivate? Also as my .223 and .22-250's wear factory barrels, they lack the twist required to stabalize these guys anyway..correct?
I've got a gaggle of these bullets, but doubt I'll be making a rifle around them... what would you guys do??

Send them to me. I'll trade you for some other weight .224's
