I received this from Barnes today. Pretty prompt response, huh? Quote: I'm going to suggest that they send me some "re-programed" .458's with a meplat and I'll test the penetration on an elephant for them this June! | ||

Well, well, well. How about that. If they came out with bullets as I suggested, above, I'd buy some. I sure wouldn't gripe about having to work up new loads. Some things are worth getting upset about -- and others aren't. I learned that lesson very well this past year. Russ | |||

I spoke to Mike Murray at Alaska Bullet Works today (maker of Kodiak bullets), and they are currently bonding about forty .458 500 gr. FMJ FLAT NOSE per minute. These are the heavily reinforced copper jacketd solids with linotype lead core that is bonded to jacket. this is a huge advantage over conventional bullets as it wont fish tail or squirt any lead out rear. Not likely to bend either. Reinforced meplat like old British solids. Think this is the bullet used in Buffalo bore bullets sold by Cabelas. Why bother with a long monometal when you can buy these and not wait??? Andy | |||
