New "to me" made in Montana monolithic bullets ...

That's some spiel they got for their cavity back bullets,
Yeah, I had to just stop reading. Where is the data that supports the claims? If they had wind tunnel vids, or anything but some long winded marketing/sales spiel, I would give them more creedence. Who always shoots compressed loads to the point that hollow cavity would even make a difference? Rubbish. I've been cursed with the barometer of truth.

ya, I was in similar frame of mind, reminds me of the 300 PRC getting "improved" by 2 gr to gain 300 FPS and eternal barrel life, lmao !

The Cavity Back bullets were really focused towards the gas gun crowd. Trying to shoot mono-metal bullets in a gun with very tight OAL restrictions leads to compressed loads in most cases. That's why they also sell the windowed AR magazines; to help with the OAL restrictions in any way possible. The slight benefit given by the hollow base is definitely relevant when the bullets are used under those circumstances. It's probably less significant when used in larger cases or platforms without the OAL limitations found in gas guns. I've used these bullets in gas guns chambered for the 6.5 Grendel, 6.5 BRX, and 270 AR with good results on target. The increase in usable case capacity becomes pretty significant when dealing with relatively small cases to begin with.

It never fails; negativity always shows up in any new product or competition despite the best intentions. As previously noted, I always welcome more choices.

Hope I didn't come across as negative , was more or less poking fun is all , I have an extremely healthy sense of humor, emhasis on "extreme" lmao !

But... those who know me well, know that I'm always testing bullets they'd never heard of and often times I will shove a couple into some poor critter that stood still too long in my line of sight .

I did order a box of the 168 gr 30 cal bullets for my personal testing and did get a buddy to check them out, got him into using Badlands, TLR and now Hammer bullets with great results so he's willing to try the Cavity Back bullets as well

I'll most likely run them around 3100-3150 fps in a Tikka T3 in 300 WSM, maybe a few in the 300 Rum at 3400-3450 fps for gits & shiggles but the 300 WSM is my "intended target"

Maybe these guys are on to something and I'm willing to give them a shot

It's not negativity. It's the uncanny ability I have to see the truth in matters. Probably because I spent many years in the fact finding, investigate, and business intelligence industry. Could also blame it on my critical thinking abilities and experience in marketing and propaganda. I'm not gonna be fed a spoonful of crap and smile with crap in my teeth.

Wow…tons of over the top stories, BS, and leg humping. Seems eerily familiar!
 
I seen long range guy Eric Corrina make a cavity in base of bullet with his lathe on YouTube and shoot a 5/8 group with them at 1000yds, guess they are starting to be more mainstream, I would definitely like to try them. I got a Ruger LC9 that made crappy groups with everything thing I tried, found some Ranier bullets with a concave base I had and they shoot great, just seems to make sense that there's more surface area to push bullet and pushing mostly center of back of bullet.
