JefferyDenmark's .510" 555 grain Monolithic Copper Cup Point Bullets
I loaded up ten of these in my .500 A2 in BeLL brass, behind 112.2 grains of RL 15 and Federal 215 primers and took them to the range today.



Here are a couple next to a 7x57R.



More in the box and ready to go.



I shot all ten over my chronograph in about four or five minutes and got these velocities:

2,416 fps
2,433
2,415
2,434
2,426
2,411
2,432
2,418
2,426
2,439 fps

Here is the target, which I had set at 100 yards.



The flyers were all mine. These are good bullets!

Thanks, André. Any chance you will be making any more of these? thumb

Thanks for testing the Cup Point Solid.
You got some good velocities with RL15 I have to use 119 grn of N140 to get those speeds with a 24" barrel!
Nice shooting.
Yes I will be making more of these, just need to find the right producer Wink They are expensive.

Cheers,

André

This has been done by me. Those bullets have been interrogated by waterboarding. They are tough copper cup points that did not fail.

RIP already tested my bullets in his IWB (Iron Water Buffalo) machine.

This is what the Cup Point Solid look like after going true some wood plates.

The bullet is designed to expand a little but stay a solid, I want the fron to be heavy and the tail to be lighter (Boat tail) this will make the bullets fly in a straight line that is controled by the front.

RIP thanks once again for testing the bullets.

Cheers,

André
