While they do look impressive, I believe I can get the job done well with either a cast bullet or a Barnes original.

I am interested in how they would perform.

Those definatly look way cool.

These look like they would expand very fast and might work better for light skinned game(Deer?)


The Hex hollow cavity looks interesting. I wish they had pics of expanded bullets.
I like the look of these, but with the Design Velocity of 1400-2200 fps, the other ones might work better for your BFR??

The big hollow cavity looks like it would be levergun friendly. They don't have any .475" bullets Frowner
I still think an empty 45 acp case would have potential as a massive hollow point in the 475 Linebaugh.

I think I would just stick with hard cast.


If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

My exact thoughts. I wouldn't think you really need an expanding bullet when you are already starting with a half-inch hole. They do look cool, though, but I think heavy and blunt works better!

Is that a Punch bullet on the bottom left?

They are a great bullet from everything I have hear, they just cost too damn much IMO. Must cost Belt Mountain a lot to make them.
