I have been thinking about this for a looooong time.
I like the Nosler BT, but I've noticed if I recover a bullet all that is ever left is the jacket only. I have not had any issues with the BT stopping power....BUT my little brains gets to working sometimes....
Why not design a petitioned BT and have it a boat tail??????????
In my limited way of thinking wouldn't you increase the BC of the bullet?
*The petition would help lengthen the overall length (copper is lighter than lead in the same area of the bullet)...
*The plastic tip is lighter than the normal lead point on a petitioned bullet...
*The boat tail would also help increase the length...ever little bit helps?!?!?
On closer shot is would help weight retension and the increased BC help for long range shots!
Am I way off base with this or does Nosler (or other brand maker) need to hire me?
