I also first thought so, but the pics of the Impala bullets have 3 grooves and no distict boat-tail? BTW this one is a .375 cal http://www.bigbore.org/ http://www.chasa.co.za Addicted to Recoil ! I hunt because I am human. Hunting is the expression of my humanity... | |||

I believe it to be an early GS Custom with the wider driving bands! The picture above comes from their website . ........................................................................ ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

I don't believe this to be a GS Custom bullet, GS has the "bands" on the outside and recessed like this sample! | |||

Isn't it a Peregrine bullet, Stephen? VRG-2 if copper or VRG-1 if brass. www.peregrinebullets.com They are made in Pretoria and were launched at Zimbi Guns last Saturday. | |||

My guess exactly - nonetheless lathe made brass mono. Closest I guess are Bridger bullets. Here are ones I used back in 06 - FN and BT are alike, shank/groove part is different - tho it (mine or the one displayed) might be a prototype of kind... | |||

Gents, thanks for the answers so far, but I don't believe we've found it yet? It is of rather serious urgency..... http://www.bigbore.org/ http://www.chasa.co.za Addicted to Recoil ! I hunt because I am human. Hunting is the expression of my humanity... | |||

Peregrine bullets have four bands, plus a "band" ahead of a boattail. http://www.peregrinebullets.co...54-vrg2416340-3.html

Is it not the Frontier Phalanx bullet made in Stilfontein, North West Province? | |||

What detracts from the Phalanx 7 Perrigrine is the straight taper from the forward band towards the front flat. Pics off both websites suggest a slight ogive on those two? Carl, all I can say at this stage is Mmmmm.... http://www.bigbore.org/ http://www.chasa.co.za Addicted to Recoil ! I hunt because I am human. Hunting is the expression of my humanity... | |||

I dare to claim that this is not a factory made bullet sold on an open market.
Quite some SA guys bake them at home. What was it - poached Rhyno? | |||

The bullet in the evidence bag looks more like copper in the driving band area, but the glare on the bag makes the nose look like brass. It is obscured by the evidence bag and could be tarnished or have a patina acquired while lying about after recovery? Recovery from what? Riflecrank Internationale Permanente can only say that it has some design features of the old Bridger Bullet of about a decade ago. A serious hobbyist made these as a sideline, whether at his regular business on idle machine time, or at home in the garage. Here are from top to bottom, .375/300gr Brass FN .375/270gr Brass FN .375/300gr Copper FN: Band structure is not same as evidence bullet, but the copper one has a bit of boat tail and the cutting edge leading at the base of the rebated truncated cone Flat Nose. Bridgers are as close as I can come. Maybe a different one of the Bridger iterations. Maybe a similar production of another hobbyist. Have you considered gas-chromatographic/mass-spectrometric analysis of the trace impurities to track it to origin of the rod it was turned from, then who bought that rod? | |||

I really does look like an SSK Industries early bullet, from JD Jones.
