Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[Distant Thunder]

Kurt,

That .44 bullet is essentially the same shape as my little .40 ppb. My bullet has held up very well out to 600 yards and held its own against the .45 calibers. It does require more come up than the higher BC .40s like Arnie Seitz and Bob Wood are shooting, but the accuracy has been good all the way out to 600.

If I went to Arnie's elliptical design at a length for an 18-twist I don't think it would weigh even 350 grains. I want all the weight I can get for the rams. I'm pretty happy with it as is.

The one on the left is Arnie's elliptical and the two on the right are mine, unpatched and patched.
