[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1413367, member: 93846"] RockyMntMT, Steve, if I may, I'd be very interested in a 6mm/.243 bullet in the material that you are currently researching, or something similar. I have an older Winchester M70 Featherweight 243 Win with a 1:10 twist barrel. It will barely stabilize 100gr Hornady Interlocks and most 100gr flat based bullets. For monolithic/copper bullets I have to drop back to 80gr. maximum weight. This rifle is a perfect example of why your proposed bullet design is so important, especially in 243 Win. The rifle is an absolute tack-driver for a hunting rifle, shooting in the .3s!
