[QUOTE="noel carlson, post: 289580, member: 16138"] MR, Gerard Schultz is also responsible for inventing the sacrificial forward band concept. This was a critical element in ELR advancement, even though he specializes in short to medium range hunt bullets. As you point out, he is very knowledgeable in terminal ballistics, and some of our expansion technology overlaps. In sharing e-mail notes, it was revealed that we independently arrived at similiar solutions to the problem. I appreciate the feed-back on standard twist compatability. Eric can tell you that this is counter productive for copper solids. It is an issue of material density. Copper does not begin to shine as a projectile medium until six caliber lengths are reached. The only reason that I took on the hunt bullet project in .338, is that unusually tight twist rates (9-9.5") are becoming common. This is why I believe ZA hunt bullet will always find relatively limited application in the field. Best, Noel [/QUOTE]
