[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1634320, member: 10"] That has actually been tried a few times and yes it does work but adds dramatically to the cost of the bullet. In my opinion, this would have the most benefits in calibers under 338 caliber. In calibers over this, the bullets have enough mass to produce very good BC. Its the smaller calibers that simply can not get enough mass to produce true high BC designs. Probably the most common bullet that tried this was the Winchester Black Talon which was a conventional shaped bullet, basically a solid design with the base of the bullet having a lead insert. Again very costly. Some custom bullet makers have even tried using Tungsten cores for more weight and yes it does work, but again, cost is very high and that makes it hard to make a living at it unless your putting out a very high volume of product. Not a bad idea at all, just the practical side of business gets in the way at times. [/QUOTE]
