Flat Metplate Machine Turned Projectiles - Diameters?

[Brobee]

Hi there!

Background:

Update on Empirical Trajectory Testing and Calculated BC

The "What Kills Thread" where I published some Gelatin Terminal Ballistics Studies (post 74)

The original thread illustrating how I got started on this project

To further my self-interest in flat metplate bullets in high velocity centerfire rifle hunting applications and get ready for this upcoming hunting season I'm getting ready to spin up another batch of machine turned projectiles. I've already committed to running some for the calibers I have guns in (.308 (155gr), .284 (140gr), .277 (110gr) & .458 (405gr), but was thinking I might add a couple of other diameters for other folks to try if there was enough interest.

So I'm wondering - what calibers would you folks like to see? I can likely afford to add two more to this run...I was thinking about .358, .375, or .416...

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback!

I'm in for .416

Good idea re. the poll.

I would buy a significant amount of .416's if they came to be.

I might try the .458's in my 45/70 for fun.

The more I think about it, the more I want to try them in my 45/70 so I would definitely be 'In' for a worthwhile quantity of both .416 and .458.

Would love to try the .308 and .375 boolits you have

No .510" so I can't vote.

What I would like to get is some dangerous game bullets for the 45-70. There are some options in the US, but nothing that I know of that is being imported. Barnes is going to be adding another 45-70, but I don't know when it will get here, and it isn't all copper. http://www.barnesbullets.com/products/rifle/barnes®-buster™-bullets/

Most of what I have seen is not heavy enough.

Well what the hell...I'll cast a vote for the 9.3mm!
