Just replicating the bullet needs for culling elephants is all I am trying to accomplish. I bought a 7mm-08 for my son and I wanted to get some made for his round. It is my indulgence and practicality does not enter into the equation. And I prefer the bullets with a wider meplat too. But that is for my revolvers and not my rifle.
BACK WHEN SPEER DEVELOPED THEIR TUNGSTEN CORE SOLIDS THEY USED A NASA PROGRAM TO COME UP WITH THE OPTIMUM MEPLAT FOR BEST PENTRATION AND THOSE BULLETS HAD A FP, NOT "WFN" WIDE BUT FLAT MEPLAT NONETHELESS. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF POINT/MEPLAT THE CEB SOLID RIFLE BULLETS HAVE BUT FLAT, AND NOT TOO WIDE, OUT PENETRATES ROUND OR SPIRE POINTS AND GOES STRAIGHTER. PONDORO TAYLOR, ORIGINATOR OF THE TKO FORMULA, PREFERRED "BUFF" OR "BLUNT" NOSED BULLETS. I DO NOT RECALL HIS EXACT TERMINOLOGY, NOR IN HIS WRITINGS WAS I EVER ABLE TO FIND A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HE MEANT, BUT I BELIEVE HE WAS REFERRING TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN ROUND OR SPIRE POINT BULLETS.
