Been following the development of some new all-copper bullets on the market that may be of interest to the Horde.
New Copper Cavity Back Bullets for 6.5mm

Fairly good web site for a start up.
I for one would like to know more about the special alloy material. Is this a 5% Zink alloy for example? a photo of 3 fired bullets that have expanded in media (ballistic jell or H2O) at say 1700, 2200 & 2700 feet per second would be great as well.
Thanks For sharing.

How deep does the cavity go? The cavity alone shouldn't affect the BC. However, I suspect it would have an effect on how pressure builds. Going to deep could affect the structural integrity."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

The dude has been following my lead. Ahhhhhh, finally -I get a break in the designing action.... I care not who makes cool pills--- I'm done as a maker of them., for now....
Most boat propellers have 3-4-5 blades on them. 3 is common for small to midsize engines.
Gmx has 6, Barnes 4. As for bullets.) 3- Is a true chopper effect-
The key was not to go too deep into the center of base of bullet- drilled or cast in there. Many ways to make pills.
I do have the same pill idea with solid rocket fuel in the hollow base, to use with a muzzleloader with the spark ignition system- anyone??/?------
I'm semi retired this week on this bullet stuff. I'll always be here, yet no more test samples will be available from me.,, well maybe next year-
Make sense to all ?
I'm taking this Monday off from work , to go fishing with Blade2. This and the new cool news coming after shot show on Grrr ammo, should cement this round for the future. OOOOOPlah!
I've done a ton of work behind the scenes to help promote this round--- no monetary gain at all. Didn't ask for any.
I'll be staying on here till death do us part,,,, yet less time is to be spent on the forum. New products, ideas -etc. are my newest focus.Last edited by sneaky one; 10-08-2016, 02:27 AM.

Sneakyone, I always get a kick out of your posts. Sometimes I have to read them 2-3 times
I get the feeling your brain is always running 100 mph how do you get it shut down to sleep. I use whiskey .
I for one am gonna miss all the ideas you have been working on with the lighter pills. Thank you.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

Ahh yes seem these shot out of the 6.8 by Lone Star Boars, so I looked to see if they made any in 6.5mm and they do. Both the 105 and 118gr weights really have my full interest. I believe Lone Star had about an extra grain or two until he would have a compressed load. Anyways look for him on YouTube and it was his last video or close to last.12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel
Surge - Rugged Suppressor
Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.
Aim small, miss small!

I've actually got a box of the 118's sitting next to me right now. I was contacted and asked to verify how they shoot long range, and he promptly sent me out a box. I'm planning on doing a side by side test between them, my pet load with 123amax, and factory amax as well. I'll for sure test at 1000 yards, and if I have any left I'll send them through the transonic phase (around 1200yds for me) and hopefully push to 1400 or so

Their website seemed to promote the lighter offering for the Grendel. Look forward to seeing your results.
What Propellant are you leaning towards for this application?

I'm planning on using AR-Comp, for two main reasons. One, it performs really well in my rifle and gives respectable velocities. Two, it is a fairly compressed load, which is one of the things they said they designed this bullet for. To not take up as much case capacity with cartridges like the Grendel

Not sure 4 jugs is enough.
How many jugs would need for the 100 gr TTSX?shootersnotes.com
