New-to-me concept, not sure who to credit because I read about this in a post elsewhere when discussing hunting bullets in 300 Blackout, someone knew of someone who tried lots of things to make the pointy cast bullets expand at 1,000 fps and ended up with this. Sounded good so I thought I'd give it a try tonight. These are aluminum foil split-nose, but not all the way to the tip so it doesn't break apart under rotational forces or split when hitting the feed ramps of an AR-15. Still is supposed to squish like crazy if the alloy is right. We'll see.
Alloy is three parts stick-on WW and two parts clip-on ww with no added tin, probably should have added some because they cast like turds. Hoping for 12.5 bhn after powder coating and air cooling because that's the magic number for my 1-in-7 twist rifle using Reloder 7.
