Pretty soon to assume better performance from existing bullets vs a new bullet.I think the real comparison here is how they stack up to other mono bullets made from copper/coper-alloy. Which will have the better performance vs. BC.
In one of the recent King of 2 Miles 9 of the top 10 finishers shot Cutting Edge bullets which are monos.They just don't have the mass/weight to carry their speed down range much beyond 600 yds. If you know your shots will be under that, then the mono's will do a great job delivering terminal peformnce. Beyond that, they lose speed and become much more suseptible to wind - not ideal for a long range bullet.
The copper mono's are very lethal at 600 yds. and under but beyond that, they lose steam very quickly.
the way she says "hunting" with that accent ...... shivers down my spine .... and then "bullets" swoon ! lol
now I wanna see what she looks like
I bet one thing for sure , I bet anyone on this forum they don't copper up your bore.A friend of mine has done two seasons of wild boar driven hunting and red deer stalking with the norma bullets you are talking about in France. He uses a 9.3x62 .
His shooting distances are from short range up to 300m and they perform really well even on large deer (200kg+) and large wild boars.
Another of my friends is a professional stalker in Scotland and has successfully used the norma in his 6.5x55 for the last year or so. With more than 150 red deer , fallow and roe deer taken successfully at ranges up to 400yrds.
Which Norma bullet did he use?A friend of mine has done two seasons of wild boar driven hunting and red deer stalking with the norma bullets you are talking about in France. He uses a 9.3x62 .

Grabbed it from the errornet just for you... cheers....lolIt's quite disburbing that you'd have that photo saved on your phone ....
but hey, It's 2022 ... lol
Partitions ?Tin is less dense than copper by about 18% and is less dense than lead by about 40% (it's 1am my math could be off). So they are relying on the frangible front half to make the wound channel and but the second half still made of tin is supposed to penetrate?
I just don't know how well tin is going penetrate through bone especially if it's lost half its weight after the front half fragments off. It seems this would be a better design with a copper outer jacket with bonded or partitioned tin core.
