Cool bird (1/2 way down the page)

The caption says, "Here's a really quiet hunter!"

Neat site

Interesting site. This makes me wonder if you couldn't take 220gr. Hornady bullets and split them two ways on a band saw and get some really good expansion. I see some experimenting in my future.

I would start with a 240 gr SMK and after the bandsaw removed the width of the cut - you might end up with a 220 grain bullet.

Artful,

If you go to google and do a search for the page or information from the link that you posted and then do a google search, after the search runs, next to the title there is a option to "translate this page"....clicking on this link will convert the german page to your default browser setting (english).....

Very interesting reading, great find....Artful, thanks for finding it for us and posting it here...

Thanks again,

kurtz

I wonder how much those bullets cost?

it's there...


Hello Lutz,

I have found out that 160 E would be about 203.60 prior to shipping costs. This is too high for my usage, as I shoot over 500 rounds a month in my Whisper. I will have to find a more economical choice. I appreciate the time and concern that you have shown. Maybe in the future the cost will be reduced with better manufacturing procedures. Again, Thank you for your time.

I'd bet a CNC automatic screw machine with copper rod on a large order could do it a little cheaper
