Is the Keith Bullet old-fashioned & perhaps obsolete? I would ask the same for the Gould style?
You guys are among the best I've read so give me your thoughts. Thanks & God Bless.

I hope not.....I just bought a new RCBS 38-150-SWC.
Creeker... You are kidding right?

Huh??
Take a kid along
They will be when the 30/06 becomes old fashioned and obsolete.
My older boys think I am old fashioned and obsolete but I think I still have a few good shots left.
The Keith boolit is not obsolete.
It is perfection.
Political correctness is a national suicide pact.
I am a sovereign individual, accountable
only to God and my own conscience.
That boolit will never go away and rightly so. It has faults but is still a good boolit.
Besides that it looks good. With some guns I have to wonder if that is the best trait?
Other guns like them.
If Elmer had thought it was obsolete he would have come up with something better.
Yep, just like the .44 Special and .45 Colt are obsolete...

My Anchor is holding fast!
yea they're obsolete don't let the old fogies fool you. The new rage is trun cone nose.
There are better designs then Keith's out there now.
You can't stop progress...
But the trun cone looks so naked.
June 2000 was a time of great change in my life. It was then I was married. It was then I really found the internet. It was then I found a real need for someone willing to cast & sell a Keith bullet.
AND it was in June 2000 I was told by maybe the best know & most respected gun rag writer that the 45 Colt, 260 Keith, the 335 Keith, & the 360 Gould style were old-fashioned & perhaps obsolete.
Like Degruix said there are better designs that offer easier centering and wider meplats for better terminal performance.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!
I wont dispute 44man as his groups speek for themselves. From my shooting the keith style boolits in .44, they shoot very well and kill very well.
I have a few styles and most shoot well but none -out- shoot the Keith.
I dare say not obsolete but could be out of fashion.
But then again I am obsolete and out of fashion.

Nope, maybe not in vogue, but not obsolete either. Really, to many, shooting an all lead bullet is obsolete.
LOL! You've GOT to be kidding.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Yep, obsolete, but on the other hand if I shoot them in My OM Flattop .44 mag then there brand new. Dennis
