Help identifying these bullet heads
Hi Learned Members. I have a lot of these 300gr Solids for my 9.3x62. I would appreciate if someone can identify what brand they are. The weights are very consistant so my guess is they may not be cheapies.
Thanks
Baugust

Re: Help identifying these bullet heads
I have found these bullets to shoot extremely well in everything I ever tried them except .223. Especially good in .458. All my sub sonic work in 30 and 458 cal was with these bullets.
I found them so accurate in both calibers subsonic shooting and 458 sonic shooting that I even tried to modify them for hunting.
I turned the copper off front to expose lead - did not work, then pressed a X in exposed lead - did not work either - the lead is just too hard. (7 % antimony I think ) - very hard.

Re: Help identifying these bullet heads
First, it looks just like bullets. No heads in the pic.
The look just like Frontier "CS Game Ranger" bullets. These are lead core CMJ's with a very thick copper plating. They were never inteded for hunting dangerous game, but do quite well on smaller thin-skinned game. I have shot a few warthog, impala, kudu and a single gnu with these from amy 375. With proper shot placement, they work well and penetrate through.
