Hunting with cast is practiced by relatively few hunters and only a few designs get a real workout hunting. Currently those desings seem to be of the LBT/B+M style.
I have no problem with any bullet designer doing an indepth study on cast designs for range performance indeed.
What I do have a problem with critics lambasting someone's design, what ever it is used for..and not presenting their designs that they feel are better...just that simple indeed! Could you please point out where your designs were lambasted? I'm not seeing it.
I have been in this gun and ammo thing all my life...and this is nothing new. In my opinion cast performs within a certain velocity and range and that is reflected in all the ammo we build and sell. I don't think anyone is arguing that
This thread has taught me one thing......stay off other people's turf and I plan to do that exactly. I did not understand what was the prime purpose of Cast Boolits indeed. How can you NOT understand what this place is about? Furthering our understanding of the boolit and helping others do the same. I did not realize that heavy gun critics would be brought in to work over something as simple as some'one's idea what were good handgun game bullets. Again, where did all this take place?
I have many friends over here that I work with and will continue to work with on many ongoing projects indeed. But you will never see me post another spec sheet on bullets. I'm taking my ball and going home!? Comon'!So, friends, I do not know anything else to say. It has nothing to do with hurt feeling, it's just I see it as a no win situation indeed. If one reflects on this thread, there was no designs coming forth from this critics. ...only more self-center self expression. A great opportunity was missed where all of us could discuss the posted designs, rather than vague about this or that.It appears to me it IS about bent noses. I've re-read this whole thing and don't see anything that could possibly be taken as you picture it. Do a search on "RPM limits" and then you'll see bloodletting. You have a lot to offer, but so does everyone else, so maybe listen to them before deciding they're dissing you.
