Memtb, you don't have a clue.
Thank you for your courteous response! I never stated that I could not be incorrect, merely that it didn’t appear to be a boattail....as the rifling marks went “almost” to the base. On your “I know for certain” remark.....I suppose that you’ve done “exhaustive” Brinell Hardness tests, on numerous lots of Barnes Bullets to verify your synopsis! You are likely correct....but “certain”, is a pretty strong testimony! I humbly recognize your superior intellect! memtb
