There's a drawing of it on pg. 2 post #34 in this thread.No bullet design shows for me. Does anyone see it?

Thanks! How do you feel about the transition from the driving bands to nose diameter?
It's a pretty standard transition. Whether a bullet will shoot at higher velocities or not depends on what the designer did in front of the front band and how well it fits and guides the bullet into the rifling.
with a sub 55% bearing length. Most of the accurate rifle bullets I've shot at high velocity have a 65% or more bearing surface on the bullet.
Now that simple statement just made a lot of what i've been researching on design lately become much clearer. Lots of great info in this thread, but that kind of summed it up and really made some things being said here really click in my head.It's a pretty standard transition.

yodogsandman.... that bullet looks to me to have an under size nose (on the basis of a 0.350" bore it wouldn't touch much unless it expanded) with a sub 55% bearing length. Most of the accurate rifle bullets I've shot at high velocity have a 65% or more bearing surface on the bullet. IMO this bullet shouldl shoot well at 1800 fps and under with an alloy that will obturate some upon firing.
