For example, a Hornady round nose 150 grain .270 bullet has a BC of .259. For another, blunt bullets are more likely to get to the target if they encounter obstructions like leaves, brush, or twigs en route. The Hornady pointed bullet of the same weight and caliber has a BC of .443. Either would be just peachy. I've narrowed the bullets Im going to use down to Trophy Bonded Tips and Nosler Accubond. I LOVE this round in my gun. Round nose and flat point bullets Its partitioned lead core allows the front half of the bullet to mushroom on impact, but keeps the back half intact for deep penetration. For animals in the 30-70 pound range, choose a SD of at least .163. This process is supposed to eliminate voids and make for an accurate bullet. It is a jacketed, lead core, InterLock type bullet with a flexible elastomer tip that allows use in rifles with tubular magazines (Winchester 94, Marlin 336, etc.). These have thinner front jackets at the bullet's flat point to aid expansion at impact velocities as low as 1250 fps to initiate expansion and about 1800 fps for a decent mushroom. I now use the 180 Nosler E-Tip in .300 WSM. The Mono-Flex is a variation of the GMX with a soft plastic tip suitable for use in rifles with tubular magazines. The front approximately 55% of the bullet resembles a normal soft point bullet with a bonded lead core; the shank of the bullet is solid hard copper. The word "spitzer" is derived from the German term for pointed, as this style of bullet was developed in Germany. This is basically a Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet with a silver-gray colored polycarbonate tip and a black oxide (Lubalox) coating. The Extreme Point, used in Winchester Deer Season XP ammunition, is a lead core, gilding metal jacketed spitzer bullet with a flat base and an extra large polymer tip. Trophy Copper Rifle is a new copper bullet from Federal Premium® with devastating downrange performance. Nosler advertises that the AccuBond is equivalent to the famous Partition in performance and application. It is designed for deep penetration and for use on Class 2 to Class 4 class game. These rifles, such as the Winchester 94 and Marlin 336, require flat point bullets to avoid the danger of a chain fire in the magazine due to recoil when the rifle is fired. Ballistic coefficient (BC) is a measure of how well a bullet flies through the air. Add to Cart. J'Y VAIS . These bullets are excellent for use on large and heavy animals worldwide. The result looks rather like a Speer Mag-Tip bullet. This small, exquisitely formed bit of metal has been the focus of endless study, design and research.

Trophy Copper, Trophy Bonded Tip and Edge TLR and other in-house bullets are extremely popular. It features a concentric design with a precision cut band to prevent bullet setback from heavy recoil. pr. These are designed to reduce the bullet's friction during its trip down the barrel and also reduce copper fouling. For animals in the 30-70 pound range, choose a SD of at least .163. The Hornady SST, Nosler Ballistic Tip, Winchester/CT Ballistic Silvertip, Remington Bronze Point and AccuTip are similar, but use a bronze or plastic tip to increase BC and initiate expansion.

The Trophy Bonded Tip is similar, but adds a plastic tip to initiate expansion. Nosler Partitions are the best hunting bullet ever, often imitated but never outmatched. However, pointed bullets have a higher ballistic coefficient than round nose bullets. It features an extremely high BC and faster expansion than the standard, lead tipped, InterLock bullet.
