If you could have a manufacturer build a bullet, what would it be ?

[mark slavinski]

With so many bullets out there, we can always wish for more. What would you guys ask for? I am old school, don't shoot much past 500 yards. I would love to see a Sierra 30 cal. 180 gn. HPBT Gameking. Would fit in my short mags, would be stupid accurate I'm sure And hold up better at magnum velocities than the 165's. Love these bullets In all the other calibers offered.

None! There are plenty of choices as you noted.

 

[Sockeye66]

.308 160gr Barnes LRX with larger polymer tip.

 

[Muddyboots]

A bullet that accelerates on its own.

 

[J Brady]

Nosler partition with a high bc. One bullet for everything

Same as FEENIX, pretty much all bases have been covered.

Unless, someone can make an affordable mono, of a material that closely replicates the length of a cup and core of equal weight resulting in a shorter bullet than we have with present mono's, have 8 petals of which only 4 break off (making those that want immediate tissue destruction) while 4 remain to make a longer, larger bullet path of damaged tissue, that has a lower friction coefficient than does copper, and are superbly uniform in weight and shape, and extremely easy to develop exceptional accuracy!

Beyond that……I'm happy with what we have! memtb

I like the Partition in a sleek profile. That being said there is everything times 10 of what I would ever need they are just not available and price gouging me for them.

 

[Phil Rizzo]

I'd take nosler Accubonds and Ballistic Tips with a more tapered boat-tail, and slightly higher BC.
And while I'm wishing, heavier for caliber in both.

 

[std7mag]

A polymer tipped Sierra GameKing in 25 caliber.
Something in the 110gr range.

Oh, that's right!!

They already released them the other year.
Just nobody has ever seen any!!!

 

[59FLH]

I would have Hornady build the .284 139 gn Interbond

 

[Coyote Shadow Tracker]

A bullet that accelerates on its own.

Craig there is already bullets that do that along with "Tracking" the target. Forget & Fire!

 

[wldcat]

Have Berger start making the 6mm 80 gr flat base again!! Literally shoots in the 0's in my 12 twist 6br. Well it did once but always in the 1's

Called a credmoore, or some darn thing like that...

 

[comfisherman]

Some 458 partitions for the 4570. A frames are good but almost a little tough for 16.5 inch velocities. My remaining couple are near 20 years old and I'm tired of metering them out like wartime food rations.

I'd like some accubond or similar tech bonded bullets in the heavier weight classes of 223 and 243. Realize the 223 scirocco was tough go build, but with everyone flinging high bc small caliber bullets at game some controlled expansion lead would be nice.
