[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 68602, member: 11"] 8, 10, and ULD are ogive shapes with the ULD being the longest. Yes, ULD= ultra low drag. some companies also offer a VLD or very low drag which fits between a 10 and an ULD. HP means hollow point here. He also offers a :Mag tip" which I think (but am not certain) is a polycarbonate tip like the Vmax or balistic tip. These would go in point shape column. As a side note the HP is like a SMK but he will leave the meplat a little bit open if you ask him to for better expansion on varmints if you are like me and want to use your deer hunting round on smaller vermin. Flat base is just that. A RBBT means "rebated boat tail". This is a boat tail shape that has a major diameter smaller than the diameter of the bullet. Swift has this boat tail shape on some of their bullets. It is supposed to reduce drag by something like 10% over standard BT designs. J4, Corbin, Hairfield and Alaskan are the jacket makers he uses. .010, .020 .030 .040. .065 are the jacket thicknesses he buys (I think. Double check me on this as well. I think he told me that he can bond any of the bullets but this roughly doubles the price. <font color="red"> If anyone notices a misunderstanding or a wrong statement on my part please corret me as well </font> as I have only spoken with Richard once for about 20 minutes.
