Spent the day working on one of my personal projects that has been on the back burner for at least a couple years now. I have had these ballistic tips for a long time just never had the time to perfect and machine the tooling necessary to make them work.
Well after all day and more then a few attempts I got them dang near perfect.
Check it out!
100 grain 6mm bullet with 6s ogive, ballistic tip and 9 degree boat tail made from 17HMR brass that was first cut off at the shoulder.
The speckled look to the brass jacket is what happens when you anneal them too long and they become a bit too soft but still works and will absolutely explode!
Now that I have the tooling and techniques figured out my next step is to incorporate them into the 22 cal bullet from 22lr brass where I think this tips will really shine!
Good shooting and swage on!
