- Thread starter FX-USA
- Start date
Bunch of high performance, both hunting and defense focused, bullets are being made out of solid copper now.

"Solid copper bullets? Or do you mean full metal jackets?"
Since some of our States require lead free bullets, copper has become somewhat popular with major bullet manufacturers now.

I'm thinking about something like the Hornady CX, or Federal Premium Trophy Copper. These bullets are more fleshed-out (i.e. more material, inertia), they have ballistic tips, and they're designed to fragment effectively.

Well, I finally got the Halo!!
It's was not an easy process.
It took some doing.
But here it is. (please, bear with me and scroll)

Rumor has it that all the angels from Sweden have filed a class action lawsuit over the name Halos

Just got 5 boxes of 25call, 40g /254 Halos.
Oh, I'm sorry, I just woke up and I was dreaming.

I just ordered and received more boxes of Zan, as i simply can not wait for FX or Javelin to work their magic.
Actually 3 boxes more and my slug suitcase are full, and thats minus various H&N and KO slugs i also have sitting in a cupboard in the kitchen.
Really Sweden have declined ever since it stopped being a part of Denmark,,,,, thats what succession / rebel get you, just a fair warning to any rebel states out there.

As much as I have avoided being a "fan boy" — just for the sake of the privilege to be "one of the boys" — I have to say that what FX intended (still intends?) to offer is exactly what I have been looking for.
So much, that I even have considered* spending two grand to get the swaging equipment to make it myself.
I explain:
• I like big impacts.
•• And big calibers deliver that — but at the price of more noise and low shot count.
••• Hollow points in smaller caliber deliver almost the same.
•••• But they must expand a lot — in a couple of inches of flesh — if the big impact is going to happen.
● For big expansion, the projectiles must not just be made from very soft (i.e., pure) lead, but:
●● Projectiles must have a very wide and a very deep hollow point cavity (see Bob Sterne's testing in HardAir Magazine). And:
●●● Projectiles must have a high impact velocity (not just at the muzzle!) — 800fps and above is good.
BUT:
■ Hollow point pellets have a notoriously low BC, the better ones in .22cal around 0.25.
➔ Which means they will bleed of their high muzzle velocity quickly and arrive at the quarry with less than 800fps.
➠ NOW:
The Halos:
They would have a high BC, as they are slullets, sluggets, pellugs, what have you.
➔ Therefore, they will arrive with a high velocity for impact to favor HP expansion.
They also have a ridiculously good hollow point cavity:
It is so wide, so deep — it will be a CRATER OF DOOM for the poor pest.

i agree.
i have made jokes about them,
but at the same time,
when/if they come out,
i will try some for sure,
for the same reasons of they should give that big impact we all are looking for
