    Bullet Dissections- what I’ve done and what I haven’t, so far.

    As many of you likely know, bullet construction and terminal ballistics is a bit of a fascinating subject to me, and I’d consider it a passion. Several years ago, I started doing my own research on this stuff, and did a few bullet dissections and recorded the construction and composition of...

    Norma BondStrike, TipStrike, and J&A Abram bullets

    More bullets added to my ever growing database. One of these is from a small custom bullet maker, J&A Custom Ammunition, called the Abram. They seem to be a great compromise between a soft point design, that would lower potential BC and consistency, and your typical open tip match (OTM) bullet...

    Yet another ALCO test in work, but my way.

    I know there’s been some testing with these bullets over the years posted here. Results have been mixed it seems, as well as opinions. I’ve been sitting on a few of their offerings for several years now, and am finally going to do my best on giving them a decent test of my own. I’ve decided to...

    Berger Hybrid vs Berger VLD

    So I finally got to dissecting a Berger Hybrid not too long ago. What I found confirms my long suspicion as well as others I've talked to about them and their performance. There's an enormous cavity below the open tip and before the core. Not all OTM style bullets are like this, at least not to...

    Selecting a Hunting Bullet

    Selecting a Hunting Bullet When it comes to selecting a hunting bullet, and contrary to popular belief, bullet weight and/or retained energy isn't the all-deciding factor on penetration and overall terminal performance. Actually, it all depends greatly on how the bullet is constructed, the...

    My thoughts on solid copper bullets and in comparison to other bullet types.

    To continue the theme of bullet construction/composition from my post yesterday, I wanted to make a separate post regarding homogenous (solid/monolithic/etc) bullets. I was also asked to share this multiple times. These types of bullets were originally made to fill a simple role and purpose...

    Bullet construction

    So bullets, particularly bullet construction and composition, is sort of a thing for me. I enjoy the science and how it plays such a crucial role in the terminal performance of said bullet. I've done a lot of research, testing, dissecting, etc of a lot of bullets now, and I've tried sharing that...
