[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2996586, member: 120824"] DRT has a 308 bullet with a .705BC. It's powdered tungsten core, not copper. But you're right, they don't penetrate like a all copped solid, but I think a lot of the point is, the vast majority of the time, you don't want a bullet to penetrate like a solid mono. If a bullet was built like a partition with tungsten in the base instead of lead and all copper up front, it wouldn't be long like all copper, but it would really really want to swap ends. I bet it'd still end up needing faster than normal twist rates. I think they more ideal bullet would be built like the Federal terminal ascent. Put a jacketed powdered tungsten core up front and a solid copper base. Let the front expand/come apart and have the flat wad-cutter looking solid base continue for penetration. The front would be heavier than the rear, which would help a lot in stabilizing it. [/QUOTE]
