I'm going to start load development on my 338AM soon.

What cartridge are you using this bullet in?

They are the same design that makes the rounds every few years under different names. Generally with some mythical BC attached to them and then people shoot them and find out their the same design we've seen a half dozen times. Make sure every single tip is tight and concentric, it helped when you could get them spun on a bullet spinner to sort these kinda bullets also.

These are the same swagged design presented for over a decade by various manufacturers. However I haven't had any of the loose tip issues with the Chinchagas that were associated with some others. My one bad experience is that I received some of the .375's from a buddy on this site to try in a rifle. They didn't shoot well from his son's rifle and didn't perform well from mine either. They shot like crap, as in something wasn't right. It must have been a bad batch.
I've used several hundred Chinchagas in .338 and .375 caliber in the past several years. My opinion is they shoot well (except for that one box), have a decent BC, and open up fast…they make for some good LR hunting bullets.
He actually just made me some 800 grain .510 cal hollow points for a subsonic load.
