KB, once the basic design and concept is proven out, it's relatively easy to scale slightly up or down. Planning on a brass version of C90 next to reduce cost.

KB, well, remember, I'm using a LOT of them for testing, so it wasn't THAT hard to divvy them up. But, hey, you can be the first adopter of the REAL first production run!:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

KB, buddy, Yes the Psychic's are here- for a trial run.
I met with Hanka last night for dinner. I got to see the end result of an idea or 40........ between us, a long time in the making. I like it a lot ! The Bullet needs tests , though. To be proven.,,,
The best pill is the goal, It has to expand , as a hunting pill. It has to. At Least get to 1.5 x it's diameter..maybe more-
This is the first step. The design can be tweaked as per results - ASAP. If something is amiss- PM's are good for us all.
I will work up some load data , as a comparision to my 90-95 GMX's= same OAL, same bearing surfaces- this could end up that easy ! Suwwweeeeeet!Last edited by sneaky one; 02-06-2016, 12:40 AM.

Spent 7 hrs today texting with Hanka, on & off . I made a few tweaks- then he buzzed in---- try this, what's it weigh ? Etc. How did you? Etc. Then I showed him the magico !
A few new finds were added to the mix. 85, & 90 as the max. An 80 is here also. BC's are off the charts! Say Bye bye to lead core pills! Blah!!!
I based a ton of this off of my trials with the Gmx pills. Yes, I'm the guy behind this push. It's the Grendels time to shine !

We're on this. Small - missed detail popped up.
KB- it will take a week or 2.
Drift- I smacked a 280 lb. whitetail with a 77 Gmx. 26" of penetration. Angled shot thru spine 2 ribs, organs+ DRT.
We may switch the grooves of the 95 onto the 90 to reduce bearing surfaces. then a gel test will be done . Close to 3k is the goal. 18" tube.
Drift, pm me an address to ship to.
I'll send a couple Gmx- 85 grn. And a few new Tweaked Cerb. Don't shoot unless its a great shot opp. I'll include safe load data.
Hankas design needs to be proven , before ships out, As a hunt pill. It's up to us to prove it first.Last edited by sneaky one; 02-07-2016, 10:42 PM.

BFT That's F ing beautiful. I assume the lands width is .256? I don't know if GS or Moller has an outstanding US patent but your hybrid design got around it anyway.
No doubt that the flat meplat bullets work but they are velocity dependent. Gigidy.
Less mass = less momentum for both drop and twist. Initially I was concerned about it's stability but in an 8 twist you should be ok except for extreme temps and elevations. It's as if you thought the OAL length out beforehand.........
You barely touched on the reduced chamber pressure from the minimum copper displacement. I love this. More powder is your friend.
Again, extremely well thought out.
Kudos.Last edited by Bigfoot; 02-09-2016, 04:20 AM.
