[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 873837, member: 30671"] Again no experience just an interested observer. My "guess" is a heavy/long .224 bullet, driven to 4000fps +, in a 1:7" twist barrel, will need to be monometal of some sort to keep the back end from catching up to the front end, and have minimal bearing surface.. There are some threads from Kirby Allen's efforts with .224 heavyweights that are good reads. The TTH site has some good discussions about the subject. Ken Clark did get Hornady to make a run of bullets, but mostly he made his own bullets. I think to be successful, making the bullets yourself will still be required. [/QUOTE]
