The video's ought to be fantastic!

I'm not sure if its just the picture (or my monitor), but it looks like there is some excessive bullet runout. You may want to check this, unless of course you are just looking for MOA (minute of africa) accuracy.

Perhaps you are looking for a way to save airfare costs on your next safari? I think you could use that caliber to take a buffalo in Zimbabwe, without ever leaving home!

Saeed,
The anticipation is killing me. What is it? Does it have an official name. Have you got any load data for it yet? LOL. Is it real or a mock up?

I think it is a dummy cartridge that you have assembled from lathe turned stock. A big cylinder of brass was turned to your specs, then a cylinder of aluminum was turned to the shape that is similar to an FN solid. Could you put some driving bands on that bullet and flatten its nose a bit more to humor Gerard? He might start turning out the FN's and HV's in your caliber if you did. What is that bullet's caliber?

Also, if your machinist gets a chance (You?), I have always wanted to have created a reproduction of the Hammer of Thor, Mjollnir. An aircraft aluminum with high titanium content would be nice for both the handle and head, threaded to screw together. Wrap the handle in buffalo leather, please. A featherweight sledge hammer would be a real conversation piece, or door stop, or paper weight, or something to keep Walter in line with, if he ever tries to get even for all the pranks he has suffered at your hands.

BTW, I have finally seen the videos, thanks to Mitch, who wants to be the first to test fire this cartridge.

Gentlemen,

We made this dummy from a piece of aluminum. We just painted it to look like a normal brass case.

Some of you might notice the "driving" band about half way on the shank of the bullet. This is for improved killing power. Although what animal might want to live after being whacked with something this is, is beyond me.
