[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1336301, member: 7999"] The effects on the bullet as it leaves the muzzle is where I think we got lucky. We created our design that we patented it was not with the thought of how it would exit the bore. We were trying to create a better way to minimize bore contact yet keep enough contact with the rifling to not have trouble with spinning out. Also keep seating depth adjustment freedom. The only thing that we can come up with that explains the extreme ease of load development in virtually every rifle, has to do with how the bullet leaves the bore. That is what I mean when I say we got lucky. We started with the fully tangent ogive as it is the most forgiving. As we mess with other designs nothing seems to change when it comes to ease of accuracy. They all seem to act the same. Just got a call from a customer yesterday that is shooting a 25 Nosler with a 10" twist. Very difficult to get a very heavy bullet with solid copper that will not tumble. I have him shooting our 116g Sledge Hammer as it is the heaviest that we have that will stabilize in the 10" twist. He called to let me know that he was at 3700fps and shooting sub 1" at 200y. This bullet is 1.2" long and almost all baring surface. No boat tail and a very short nose with a large dia hollow point. Just as heavy as we could make a 25cal and have it be bullet shaped to stay stable in the 10" twist. Not what I would call a visually attractive bullet but shoots lights out. Steve [/QUOTE]
