Weighs about 159 gr,and is expanded to about 70 caliber as you see it.


A Bear Claw?


Sorry i thought most knew that BBC meant Bitterroot Bonded Core. Like John said the BBC is the predecessor of the Swift Aframe and the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. Still among the very best of expanding bonded bullets.Very tough and almost impossible to destroy at high velocity.

Here's another, a 250 gr 375 started at 2940 fps. pulled from the off side hide of a pretty big Alaskan brownie after busting up major bone. Don't be fooled by the .75" frontal area and think it wouldn't penetrate. The other two fired blew holes the size of a fist as they exited.

It was the use of this bullet in the 375 H&H that made it easy for me to sell my 338's and use an 8 pound 375 in their place.
