[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 360928, member: 2580"] They are solid copper with a cavity, and should easily handle 3100 fps and the .460 twist (1 in 16"). Looks like a very good candidate. If I can get the G1 B/C., I'll run the exterior ballistics on it. It must be brand new. I didn't see them listed even a week ago. I've been emailing back and forth with Dave at Lehigh Bullets. The 528 gr bullet is intended for the .460 Steyr ( a necked down and shortened 50 BMG case), and is too long to stabilize in the Wby 16 twist at .460 velocities. I appreciate the time he took answering my emails, but it looks like a dead end. Other companies make 300 and 350 gr spitzer flat base bullets, so no advantage in his 300gr that I can see. I'll order some of the tipped T-shok 300's and try them as soon as I can. They should be good for as light as they are. I wish they made a 400 or 500 grainer. Keep digging. Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
