[QUOTE="Beng, post: 835199, member: 37512"] There is a lack of heavy bullets in .257 and .264 caliber. 140gr respectivly 160gr in .264 would be nice. Long boat tail, long tangent or hybrid ogive, bonded body undbonded nose. A hybrid ogive might be a bit complicated to design though, also I'm not sure if Berger holds any legal claims to this design. There aren't any heavy 8mm bullets either, superheavy .308 bullets -250-260gr- could be nice too, I don't believe though that there would be enough demand. Perhaps .264" caliber would be a good starting point. There are commercial offerings as heavy as 160gr already, which are pretty popular at least here in Europe. All those offerings are of a blunt nose, flat base design though, a more modern design should be able to gain some initial market share. If the design is good and easy to produce, perhaps even some of the bigger manufacturers like Norma could get interested. [/QUOTE]
