Gentlemen,
I have recently made a bullet mold specifically for the .300Whisper. Its a 275 grain bullet with no lube grooves or gas check in an effort to maintain a high BC. The profile of the bullet is about the same as the Sierra BTMHP.
Since I have found that most lead bullets have a really blunt tip, they must be seated very deeply in the case to even chamber.Once you did that, they didnt feed in my Remington 700 that I built at all. They were a single shot propostition that I wasnt happy at all with.
So, I designed a bullet to be cast from lead that has a spitzer tip. Knowing that pointed lead tipped bullets are just waiting to be smashed, I put an 1/8 flat on them. Eventually, I'd like to try hollowpointing them.
A soft lead hp bullet that weighs 275 grains would be devastating on anything that it hit...ecpecially deer. To keep leading to a minimum, I plan on lubing them with Moly Coat,which will be applied in a tumbler.
Here is a picture of what I've got.
and here is the mold that made it, along with the single flute cutter that I used to bore the mold with...
What do yall think?
