Sounds doable. I'm going to hypothesize that if successful, the trade off will be reduced tissue damage. The present noncon turns into a roto-rooter type of ripping through the flesh on its way to wherever causing a really bad/good wound channel. The #13 solid actually passes through the flesh causing less damage in the wound channel but penetrating deeper. . | |||

As I see it, the Non-Con will continue to do the same damage as it did before, the difference being that once the petals have sheared off, the remaining body will penetrate deeper. | |||

From the peanut gallery: As I see it, once the petals have sheared off the Non Con, what is left is somewhat similar to a Cup point solid..of course this could be fine tuned a bit I guess by an undercut just ahead of where the hollow in the bullet ends so the shearing is somewhat assisted and the resulting cylinder has a little smoother nose profile...but I guess we come back to the question of "how much penetration" does one need with a NOT SOLID bullet? | |||

I made some a long time ago for Michael to test. They were ugly bullets that had a #13 nose and a #13 angle cut at the bottom of the hollow. The nose was supposed to blow and leave a #13 solid to penetrate. Is this what you are talking about. Never tested just too ugly and the non con penetrates just fine. Sam | |||

I'm not on my laptop right now but I think Michael did test the mushroom head bullets and they did work as well as the standard NonCon configuration. Jim "Life's hard; it's harder if you're stupid" John Wayne | |||

Hey Michael , be carefull , someone might think (???) That’s why I bought it for .. And now try to “ Ban “ them all For the Record : My 30/30 is a " Hunting Rifle "
I was under the general impression, the “ CEB Brass Alloy - NonCons “, were “ LEAD FREE BULLETS “, as is ? I'm hoping " Dan " decides to get them approved / Certified.

Meplat What you say is correct, and it could be done, and it would work. Sam did make some of these undercut bullets, I have some left over from that as well. I think I even busted a couple of them in the medium, and of course they did well. I don't recall exactly. But the whole thing is, in its current form, the BBW#13 NonCon outpenetrates every conventional made in the caliber, all in it's class, and as an expanding or trauma inducing bullet it already has more than enough penetration as is. When a 500 gr Swift, Woodleigh, Nosler, penetrate from 19-24 inches in the test medium, and the 420 BBW#13 NonCon penetrates to 28-30 inches, how much more is needed? That correlates to 50-60 inches in animal tissue, rule of thumb. No terminals today boys, but been on the range doing load development and pressure traces on the 458 B&M and 500 MDM. Monday morning making a plan to take my big trailer down to the news paper place and get about 5000 lbs of dry test medium. That should hold us a bit!

I suggested this a while back and you can go back and look at them. They look like a penis and might appeal to a certain demographic but the principal is a decent one. The non con is designed to do maximum damage and great penetration. The sharp and rough full diameter solid left over does a great job doing maximum damage. If maximum penetration is desired the flat point is there. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

The brass being used has 2% lead. To get Cali legal you need 1% or under. The brass being used gives great performance so CEB decided to make a copper version for California and those have not been made yet. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

Sam That's exactly what I'm talking about. Mind you, I'm not advocatng a full #13 undercut, just a partial one to improve the shape and aviod the full diameter flat nose. Possibly also to provide a definite petal shear location for uniform shearing. I agree that a catridge needs to be handsome as well as effective. It needs to look like something that you want to fire through one of your guns. Michael You're right, how much is enough? Do the Non-Cons currently have sufficient penetration? Yes. Can we give then a bit more? Maybe. Will this advance the design further if it works? Of course. Isn't that what you want. To push the limits and exceed them? Knowing that I had 'several' firearms, some non-shooter asked me how many guns were enough. I responded that having too many guns was barely enough! MFS | |||

On the Raptor you could do a 45 degree undercut between the first and second bands to create an undercut and a say 75% meplat but that will affect the BC creating more drag. An undercut between the bands on the lever guns would make sense considering the lower velocity and extended penetration. It makes more sense to have a steep cut between the bands than a shallow longer angle. So in short I can see this on the lever gun, raptor or even the carnivoire but not the regular non con. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

when the present noncons shear, the flat surface of the remaining cylinder is very rough and full caliber makiing a difference and IMO in tissue damage. I suppose in your suggestion, the remaining metplat surface (67% of caliber) would be very rough but that surface would be smaller than the cylinder surface which is full caliber. If you're talking about increasing damage at the loss of penetration, you're back to the noncon. I believe your design would do the opposite, increase penetration at the cost of reduced tissue damage. | |||

I think that the greatest tissue damage is being done by the expanding nose and petals that are shearing off to cause multiple secondary wound channels radiating outwards from the primary wound channel. This would not change and tissue damage would still be extreme. I am only concerned with the solid shank, which is now penetrating much like a standard #13 solid, but not as effeciently. If the efficiency can be increased, then bullet weights can be reduced while still maintaining excellent penetration. Lighter bullets mean more velocity and greater flexibility for smaller cartridges (like the Super Shorts). We also know that more velocity tends to translate to incresed penetration with the #13 solids, so it's a win win situation. Testing will bear out the results I guess. MFS | |||

I'm waiting for the day when Powdered Metal technology (thats were you can alter the alloy composition over the length of an object. Just like the connecting rods in a modern car) is used in bullets. You could have the nose brittle and act as a raptor and have the tail more malable and act like pure copper. It would be a lot of fun to play with.

That could get someone in jail When I was a kid I would tape a bb on the primer of a 12 gauge shell add a tail, throw it up in the air and it would go boom when it hit the ground. I took the shot out but who knows what it would do with the shot in it.

Well I am pretty much useless for the rest of today! Just returned from getting a load of test medium! I wore out before I got to 5000 lbs! I managed to get 3600 lbs, and told them I had all I wanted for today!!!!! I have it backed up to the back door on the range, that's where it will stay until tomorrow! Then I will unpack in the morning! I suppose 5000 lbs was a little ambitious! 3600 will do for awhile, I hope! Whew!

What do you think about a Noncon handgun bullet? Thinking the 44 caliber for 44 magnum and 444 Would need to be a flat base or hollow base, minimal banding, undercut, larger hole for lower sheer velocity. Maybe the light 22 Non Con could be used in the 5.7 FN. Sadly the 5.7 FN showed how deadly it is being used at the Fort Hood shooting. The Noncon could make that tiny round a heck of a lot more deadly. A handgun with 20 round mags shooting 40 grain 22 cal non cons at 2,000 FPS. That would be quite impressive 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Michael, The penetration on test media and the reports on animals are fantastic. I was presented with a situation this past weekend and didn't take the shot. I would like to ask what you and the hunters that have been using these bullets think the outcome might have been. Rifle: 375H&H Bullet: 275gr BBW#13 NonCon at approx 2800fps Distance: 30-75 feet I passed on two shots at gorgeous Bobcats because there was a slight bit of brush between me and them. This brush was mostly the leaves of mesquite trees. I doubt there were any twigs more than .080". I have seen some fairly stout bullets get deflected by not much brush. Anybody think I could have made a clean kill? Has anyone done testing of BBW#13 bullets against brush between you and intended target to see deflection?
