[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 159233, member: 10"] Dave, Funny you make that comment about the solids and not Richards bullet. THE only difference between the two is that the solid has a slightly longer BT length. Baring surface is basically identical between the two, Ogive is exactly the same design and length of nose is identical as well and both have the same needle point meplat. Again, other then one has a Rebatted Boattail and the other has a conventional BT design, they are basically the same externally dimensioned bullet. Maybe the two tone color on Richards make them look slower??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Personally, as far as consistancy and usibility with many different barrels, there will be no comparision between the two, Richards will be a dramatically superior bullet in my opinion and also usible for use on big game as well. As far as the Sierra Ballistics personel, I have alot of faith in them for conventional calibers used in conventional rounds. But to be blunt, most commercial bullet makers have little if any knowledge dealing with the class of rounds we are here. Bruce Baer on the other hand does and I would respect his opinion greatly. It may be of interest for you that the next batch of tipped bullets will have tips with a very slight flat on them. Not for ballistic reasons but for safety. Richard has almost ran these tips right into his hand before and yes they will punch skin very easily with little pressure needed!!! I found this out as well. Dropped one and caught it in my hand, tip broke the skin in the palm of my hand!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
