Interesting. That bullet profile and cannelure placement puts much of the bullet outside the case, leaving more room for powder than traditional bullets. High velocities could very well be possible.

The thing that is intriguing to me about these bullets is their profile..they are true Spitzers. They are very long for a 225 gr 44 caliber projectile..they are solid copper and the nose profile leads to exceptional performance at high velocities. They make these bullets in other calibers too.

With a bullet that long, it will be interesting to see if it will stabilize with the twist rates used in .44s.

A 1/14" twist stabilizes these bullets
