tungsten core bullets
There are some bullets around that use powdered tungsten to increase the weight. Does anyone here have experience with these?

I'm not familiar with those- though it sounds interesting. The only bullets with tungsten carbide I'm familiar with is the Speer AGS solids with a tungsten carbide rod threaded into the center. They do this because tungsten is heavy and very strong.

This company is selling human control type tungsten bullets in .308 weighing 250gr for about a buck and a half each. Don't know anything about the company or the bullets, but here is a link if you wish to check them out. http://www.cableone.net/Baydog/308.html
