We build quality, custom projectiles with accuracy and terminal performance as our goal. Our bullets are of rebated boat tail design, that are not only easier on your barrel than conventional boat tails, but offer a substantial theoretical accuracy improvement.
Our bullets also have pure copper jackets that are fused to a pure lead inure core that creates a very malleable projectile that will hold together better than the factory gilded
design.
The fact is, the average hunter spends hundreds if not thousands of dollars to accommodate their hunting season. Once the trigger is pulled the entire success of the hunt depends on only one desire, fulfilling your pre-season dreams. Once you pull the trigger, the rest is up to the cheapest part of your trip...
THE PROJECTILE.

Technical info.
To enlighten, amuse, or confuse
Ballistic Co efficiency; most are published to 3 decimal points, to put some perspective on this. A rifle firing a bullet with a BC of .355 will have the same amount of energy, & drop at 355 yards as a bullet with the same weight and fired at the same velocity, but with a BC of .360 will have at 360 yards a difference of 4 yards. Publishing high ballistic coefficient bullets are a Marketing tool. An extremely high B.C. can be detrimental to accuracy as barometric pressures change, so will the bullets performance creating secondary shock waves and varying accuracy from one day to the next.
Pressure rings; most “All” bullets are born with these, they are inherent from manufacture and are not there on purpose. Some use them as another marketing tool, they proclaim them as an accuracy aid, although they do not harm accuracy, It’s doubtful it helps either. Too much of a pressure ring will only hamper seating.
Multi part bullets; with today’s hot rod calibers a bullet fired from a 1/12 twist 24” barrel traveling at 3200 fps will have the centrifugal forces of 192.000 rpm, it’s obvious for accuracy the “less” wheel weights disrupting balance the better. In terms of accuracy the thinner the jacket the better the concentricity, but they are very poor for hunting performance.
Fused jackets; are attached to the core using flux and heat, they are pain staking to make, requiring heating, cleaning and more cleaning. Where as some bonded bullets are merely chemically glued cores and much more cost efficient to produce in mass production.
Flyers; most flyers come from either to much coffee, just a plain bad shot, various neck tension, or from inconsistency in the bullets ogive, even though the bullets weigh the same, measure the same length, & come from the same lot. Unless you use a bullet comparator which measures from the base to the ogive you will not see the difference, and neither will your seating die. Which in turn will give your bullets varying jumps to the rifling lands, these differences occur from bullets made in different dies, or the dwell time of the pressure while the bullet is being formed. Custom bullet makers will use the same set of dies and your bullets are made in the same run, with the same pressures and consequently more consistent bullets.
Over stability; Bullets are sold in calibers and weights, so its common practice to assume our firearms digest a particular weight in a certain brand. The reason for this is because lengths vary from one manufacturer to the next and it’s the bullets length (not weight); twists rate, and velocity that determines the bullets stability. I’m sorry to say this but nothing in this world is absolutely perfect, bullet and barrels are no exception. The bullets travel threw the barrel in a helix, once they leave the muzzle they will have a small degree of yaw and then they will minutely begin to spiral causing the bullet to rock back and forth, now throw in the center of gravity of the bullet, to far back and the bullet will tumble (under stabilized) to far forward and the bullet will not rock enough there for most likely following the degree of yaw, (over stabilized).
Boat tails; realistically have a very small degree of usefulness in today’s high velocity rifles, they offer nothing in terms of accuracy, and it’s only once the bullet has slowed to sub-sonic speeds that they reduce the bullets drag with any real significance, most of the drag is created from the bullets frontal shape, meaning its ogive and not it’s pretty tip. They do resist wind deflection, and they will have less drop, and have less drift than a flat base bullet, but only at extreme ranges.
