SOLD/EXPIRED Hunting Bullet Evolution

[Danehunter]

A short history of American hunting bullet design:

1. round nose, flat base for lever action tubular magazines

2. spire point, flat base for bolt actions (pre & post WWI)

3. hollow point, gilded lead point or poly point with boat tail

4. VLD shape with boat tail

5. hybrid shape with boat tail

What's next?

Did you realize this is the classified section?
Reloading components for sale?
Just pointing out that your post might get more replies in the rifles, bullets, barrels and ballistics section.

How much for the spire points?

I guess I should have begun with:

1. round lead ball for flintlock muzzle loaders
2. Minie ball for Civil War cap and ball muzzle loaders
