Good Catch. I throw that out there to get a reaction.

Titanium is also lighter than copper. Maybe tungsten cores

Titanium is also lighter than copper.

That means the bullet will be longer than the case it comes out of.
Talk about shreading your rifling. WOW

How about a 3 part bullet........inner being tungsten with titanium middle and copper outer. This way you get a heavy bullet without it being very long, but by design have high bc.

See... Just give someone a idea and watch what they do with it. I want a percentage of your profits.

There is guys on here that play around with sabots but just stick a smaller cal lead bullet in them.
Think a 22 cal projectile coming out of a RUM case

Edit: I mis read your post the first time. I understand your idea now but you need a tungsten core, then a lead layer then a copper jacket. Titanium will serve no purpose.

When I started in 1974 the heaviest I can remember were, 24/100, 25/120, 26/140, 27/150, 28/175, 30/220.
My M-16 was loaded with 55 gr FMJ and the M-60 I lugged around for 2 yrs shot either 147 or 150 gr, dont recall.
I would not be surprised if one day solid copper, longer and lighter will replace c/c. JMO

In 1988, when I started reloading, I was using a 160g 264 bullet from Speer in my 6.5x55, absolute hammer of a bullet. I was also using a 220g bullet from Hornady in my 300WM…

Cheers.

It's to keep it lighter than lead.

At least the tungsten will keep from having radiation poisoning, unlike uranium depleted ammo.
