[QUOTE="Trigger24, post: 1985097, member: 115591"] Hey guys! My name is Jason Sejnoha. I'm George's business partner, and the designer of the Badlands Precision bullets. I thought I might sign up here, and answer some questions about our bullets and maybe shed some light on things to come. Couple of things I caught just from reading g this thread is the thought that the .338 Super Bulldozer will open at lower velocity due to having a bigger hollow point, or bigger base at the tip. This is not the case. The hollow point is the same, as is the size of the tip at the base. This is dictated by the size of broaching we use inside to cut the inside of the hollow to create stress points for petals. If there is any reason the SBD opens faster, or at lower velocity its due to the length of the ogive on the SBD bullet. This very long length keeps the petals thinner, for a longer distance, making the nose of the bullet "softer". The SBD line was designed specifically for extended range hunting. This is why many of the recovered bullets don't have petals on them. They're designed for lower impact velocities. This will be one of the key differences in the new bullet design. We've changed our tooling used to create the hollow point mouth, and the broaching we use to score the hollow to create thinner petals at the mouth for lower expansion threshold, while keeping them thick at the back to make them actually retain petals better at high velocity. Another thing I saw was questioning a length difference on the new designs. The changes made in the new bullet include a new ogive design that was invented in house by me. We've also changed the boat tail geometry, and hollow point. All of these changes have kind of offset each other weight wise, so the new bullets will be the same length as the old ones, within a few thousands.
