[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2996640, member: 9299"] Back in the 90's and early 2000's, we swaged various bullets with powdered T cores that were heavy for caliber, mostly in .224, but they would stabilize in standard twists of the day, 1/9, 1/12 and 1/14". These were mostly in target/varmint design and usage, for the powdered T was frangible upon impacts. I guess we could have done similar but with T in the back 1/2 or so and lead swaged in the front and tip for larger game hunting. But the cost would be prohibitive for most hunters to purchase and use, just as the old powdered T versions were back then. Economics and sales volumes often determine what a manufacturer will tool up for and invest much money, testing, etc. [/QUOTE]
