So, what's missing in the lineup?
List the caliber/weight/design you wish you could find but can't.
I have a big 35 coming my way, and I'd like to see some flatpointed heavies (250-270g)for thumping <200 yds. Seeing Fritz454's big bore mono's with the flat tip got me thinking.
But I'd have them with a lead base, to keep them from getting too long.

I'ld like to see Nosler come out w/ a .404/400gr.NP I would also like to see a 160grBT from them to cheap practice in my .280 & 7mag. A .338/210gr Nolser Accubond would be great too.

I'd like a bullet just like a hornady or sierra .458 300gr bullet but w/o the hollow point.

I'ld like barnes to make
a 550 grain xlc for .510, ROUND NOSE X

jeffe

Id like to have the 220 grn 8mm speers back.

I'd like to see a 400gr FN solid in 0.458 for the 45/70, and a cheaper non-premium, soft jacketed non-bonded core 500gr RN for the 458WM - 458Lott class of cartridges.

Pumpkinheaver, That bullet already exists, it's called a Taipan 300gr FN, check the following:

Nosler Partition- .308 125grs to 140grs
Nosler Accubond- .308 150gr , .284 140gr

140 grain 6.5 accubond, 180 30 cal accubond. More 26-30 cal. flatbased match bullets.

Gabe

not caring much for heavy weights, since I do not use my 6,5 for large heavy game, I would like the different manufacturers fill the gap between 95-100 grain varminters and the 120-125 grainers.

110 grains for smalish deer would be, in my opinion, about perfect.

monteo

I would like to see Aussie manufacturer Taipan make a 500 gr .458 bullet.

Hornady 500 gr bullets are dearer than woodleigh 500 gr bullets and I want a 500 grain bullet that will expand easily on pigs and grassy's.

I would also like sierra to make a 9.3 calibre bullet and Hornady as well.

I would also like woodleigh to make a 400 gr .416 Protected point.

A 300 gr. rn. .358dia. lead, gas checked bullet.
Roger

I'd like to see a flat nose 90 gr. 25-35 bullet. a monolithic with a hollow point...

I would also, like Fred, wish for a Nosler 400 gr. 404 constructed just like the new Nosler 416, thats an awsome Cape Buffalo bullet and penitrates better than other soft points and if the lead goes out it still looks like the perfectly expanded Barnes X.......A great bullet.

I recovered some of the Noslers along with the fine 450 gr. 416 RN from Woodleigh that expand to the size of a golf ball and come to rest on the off side of the black bulls or punch on through with a perfect broadside shot.

For those that want a 400 gr. FN for the 45-70 contact Bridger bullets...I used their solids in my 416 this year on Buffalo and wow, do they ever penitrate..Killed one buffalo and wounded an Eskimo in the process...

30 Cal, 215 Grain Accubond. SD .333, BC .632.

250 grain .308 caliber, soft and solid.

375/380 grain .375 caliber, soft and solid.

Softs designed similar to trophy bonded bearclaw/northfork.

A reasonably priced hpbt 150 gr. in .308-say a 150 grain sierra game king.

How about a variation of the Nosler partition. Instead of a lead nose put a polymer tip on it just like the ballistic tips.

How about a polymer tip northfork bullet without any internal/external changes as well as future advertisment of ballistic coefficent for each caliber.

Norsemen, what advantage would that bullet have over the already existing Hornady Interbond and Nosler Accubond??

I'd like to see:

- 6.5mm 110 gr. Barnes TSX-BT or XLC-BT
- 6.5mm 129 gr. Hornady Interbond
- 6.5mm 125 gr. Nosler Accubond
- 7mm 120 gr. Barnes TSX-BT or XLC-BT
- 7mm 140 gr. Nosler Accubond
- .416" 325 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip

Johnny Ringo,

how about high weight retention?
tougher or better designed bullet consruction?
better accuracy?

I'd like to see a .224 50grs nosler Partition and a .224 nosler 50 grs. accubond or hornady ditto interbond.

I would like to see a 6mm Failsafe @ about 95-100 gr. Barnes makes the X bullet in 6mm. Why can't the powers that be do the Failsafe the same?

Copper plated Tungsten solids for tough game. Since Tungsten is 65% denser than lead a 500 gr .458 would be only as long as a 300 gr lead flat point. Give your self 12 grs of case capacity and 20% more muzzle energy.

Also .338 cal sabots with .270 bullets and .308 cal sabots with 6MM bullets. The bullets do not need jackets.

I wanna see a bullet that after killing the animal, will gut it out, butcher it, and wrap it in freezer paper.

If the bullet should sense that it is not going to make a clean one-shot kill, I want the bullet to abort it's course, and head back to the house, go up the stairs, and wait for me on the reloading bench.

And for the bullet which will miss the target, I just hope that it has enough velocity to enter orbit around the moon...

NotRicochet!!!
I've looked into doing that but by the time I had a mold made and acquired all the other goodies I could have bought a double life time of bullets if I could find them. But thaks 4 answering me. Roger

I'd like to see:

.338 cal 225gr Groove Bullets

.338 cal 225gr Barnes Triple shocks
