so my distributor for frontier bullets who is a cool guy btw hooked me up with a interesting new projectile soon to be sold in Canada made by Frontier.. its 155gr , CNC milled Solid brass boat tail bullet.. i dont have a bolt action 308 at the moment to compare but i will try it this sunday at 100 yards with my m1 garand and compare it to the frontier plated bullets, norinco surplus and hornady 150gr FMJBT bulk bullets.

pricing expected to be between 24-30$/100 ( thats grand total cash if you pickup in person) :d
 
another picture i just found

looks like the calibers made by frontier will be

.223
.243
.257
6.5
.270
7mm
30 cal
303
.311
8mm
.338
.375
 
That price seems too good to believe for CNC'ed bullets. It's a significantly slower process using more expensive materials than conventional bullet swaging so the price doesn't seem to add up.
If it's true, that would be amazing, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
so it looks like i was mistaken about price, 30 cal is looking to be around 70$ for 100. performed better in my garand then Hornady 150gr FMJBTs at 50 yards by about half an inch.

Look good, where can I get it ? Looking for some 30 caliber, 168 gr should do.

the distributor says he can order them now and it will cost me 70$ for 100 plus shipping costs, if i wait until his next big order he will be bringing in multiple calibers and i wont have to pay shipping costs.

It would be interesting to see if your barrel will get as much life as if you were to shoot copper.

the projectile only touches the barrel where the lands are cut on the projectile.. in theory it shouldnt wear the barrel any more then regular jacketed since only a small portion of the bullet is actually touching the rifling.

I believe the term is 'bearing surface' and you're correct in your explanation.

My experience with monolithic projectiles (GMX, E-Tip, TSX/TTSX) tells me that the machined rings on the projectile also allows displaced material to swage in to the channels, again, reducing depositing unto the lands/grooves.
 
The amount of wear ANY projectile causes in a rifle barrel is miniscule compared to the erosion at the throat area of the bore.

Long before sufficient wear from projectiles can be seen, the throat of most centerfire rifles is toast, and accuracy has suffered from that, not bullet wear.

The projectiles would have to be made of much harder materials than are presently used to cause appreciable wear on a barrel.
