I previously worked primarily with the 260 gr. nosler partitian .451 hollow pt. bullets and added a lead buckshot and reformed them into a spire point bullet and concaved the base to help the bullet with better obturation. The addition of the buckshot and removal of the base almost washed and I was left with a finished weight of approx. 260 grains.
This bullet performed perfectly on this years moose hunt , but I was not really pleased with the addition of the lead tip which was really only held in place by a friction fit, so I managed to obtain some of the same partitian bullets in the 300 gr.(thanks Lou).
These bullets are not hollow pt. and the lead frontal core fills the hollow pt. I thought that these would be better suited for my spitzer modification, since no additional lead was necessary.
I spitzerized the bullet in my forming die and forced the lead core out to form the spire nose, when I concaved the base the finished weight of this bullet was approx. 280 grains.
After resizing these bullets to .450 dia. for my .45 cal sabotless application, these should be the ticket for just about anything they are presented with.
Here's a pic of before and after. the bullet on the far left is the 260 gr. version, the remaining bullets are the new improved 280 gr.
heres the origional 260 version with the addition of the lead buckshot
and this years recovered 260 grain.
