Hi all, at the gun counter today I opened up a box of Sellier and Bellot 7mm rem mag just to see what they looked like….ive never seen such an odd looking projectile! There's this rebated ring thingy on the ogive, a sharp 90 degree drop before the ogive continues. The pictures will explain it better.
What on earth is the point of this bullet geometry? Does it somehow control expansion? Facilitate cleaner holes in a paper target like a Wadcutter? Is there some terminal performance benefit? I imagine it must do bad things to an already bad bc on your basic soft point flat base design but I'm very intrigued. What can the fine folks of LRH tell me about this? It's not a fluke or a misformed bullet, they all look like that.
