[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2945472, member: 94556"] Actually the cost of the bullets is only a minor cost of the whole hunt, but yet the success of the whole trip depends on the performance of the bullet. I know this from primary experience with a copper bullet whose expansion was unreliable and from lead core bullets whose expansion was erratic and penetration poor to marginal. When I had the chance, I set out to make very dependably expanding, and highly penetrating bullets. I know they are not cheap, but as far as lathe turned bullets they are much less expensive than our competitors and deliver greater BC, reliability of expansion and equal to greater penetration at all impact velocities. I don’t want to get too specific about the details that improve the expansion performance of the BD2 bullets relative to that of the BD line other than to say that it has to do with improved design of the hollow point design and improvements in the bullet profile to reduce drag thus ensuring higher impact velocities due to slower energy loss to air friction. Let them figure it out if they can. [/QUOTE]
