I finally reached my frustration limit with lack of a decent subsonic bullet design so it was time to take a stab at it myself. Everyone else has and missed the mark in one way or another, especially when it comes to powder coating the bullets for AR-15s. Accurate is my maker of choice but he can't do the nose point that I need so I'll finish that part myself.
Here's the drawing, I ordered one today.
The case mouth will crimp in the second groove. After .001" coating thickness they should be able to be shot without resizing and will move about .100" before tje nose and front shoulder tighten up in the throat. The Lee bullets I'm shooting now do pretty well actually and move about .150" before touching anything and the noses are .299" at the largest point, so this should improve that considerably. I'm convinced that my yawing problem is due to the noses falling to one side of the bore and wobbling their way downrange. The gas check shank is an option but mainly just there to give a cleaner base edge than a boat tail does or a plain base does when peened from ASBB coating and stood on their bases to bake.
