[QUOTE="300rum, post: 1329820, member: 6231"] Dear Steve, You are right at the point and i'm with your statements on bullets tumbling on flight if are not pushed supersonic or closed to low speed. You are designing and manufacture CNC SOLID Bullets right? they perform different, and believe I'm designing my own right now and in few week I will have first batch out the cnc for testing. We noticed when shooting CHINCHAGA steel tip 300gr 338cal on 2400 yards (just 50yards under the subsonic speed they thumble and bounce on contact with the WATER or GROUND. At first we tought they fragmented on impact (water) but we did further test and noticed they bounce like o rock thrown by a kid in water for fun.... Was a very sharp learning curve, and we switched to BERGER OTM and we never encounter the same symptoms. We pushed them harder at 2600 yrds (OTM) and we could predict all the time the impact. they shoot amazing subsonic It is very hard to bitt BERGERs subsonic. Down size of OTM on Games they work good no doubt but expansion is not as great as the SMK's and you have to be ready with follower shot just in case. with SMK's we never have to used 2nd shot. One and game over. Solid bulets (CNC made) they need 1800fps to open up... Did you play with the hollow hole to make it deeper like 0.7-0.8in deep - to give the bullet a chance to open up even at lower speeds? [/QUOTE]
