Ok, I'm a laggard. I know that. But just when I'm about to introduce the GMX to my rifle barrels up pops the CX bullet. Damn.
Hornady doesn't bother to compare / contrast (yet?) the two bullets on their website, so my SWAG is simply guilding metal vs copper alloy?
So my questions would be:
- which metal requires a higher impact velocity to perform to design? GMX or CX?
- are the two bullet designs close enough that I can use GMX load data with the CX?
And I thought my winter would be slow....
Both bullets are a "copper alloy"
"Gilding metal is a form of brass with a much higher copper content than zinc content. Exact figures range from 95% copper and 5% zinc to “8 parts copper to 1 of zinc”
