Lifo,
Ok, yes sir! A tip in a HP makes sense
Good idea.
Hmmmmmm, ok, what if we contact CCI, Nosler or Hornady and ask them about their Polymer Tips and if they can find us a source. We can then send the bullet mold and tips to Eric and HP mold services and ask him to make a HOLLOW TIP mold that would fit the Polymer tips.
Man, we need a full time machinist at our beck and call…..lol!
Those are not what I am looking for, I need slugs of that design not pellets :1: . Maybe some improved form of these http://www.midwayusa.com/product/377202/benjamin-by-nosler-extreme-airgun-pellet-357-caliber-145-grain-ballistic-tip-for-benjamin-rogue-package-of-25
In that case, it’s already being done. May not be copper though. copper is expensive, with no benefits. Take a look at the newest Preditor pellets. They are what you seek. :8:

Good idea.
Im not seeing how a copper core will “AIDE” or “HELP” in pure lead expanding. Pure lead is SOFTER than copper. Copper IS the controller to lead expanding.
I wrote it wrong, I did mean something like a copper point not core, like in soft point bullets. The insert/point would, on impact be pushed into the lead slug helping it expand faster.

what about a copper bb in a hollow point?
So you could get a lighter pellet, but it would cost more.
Just thinking? Or do you have a plan?
Just throwing some ideas around really. I was tinkering with the idea, that the copper core could aide in the expansion process, something in the line of softpoint firearm bullets, since copper jacketed slugs/bullets don’t work in airguns.
Can see problems getting a core totally central to lead jacket. Fraction off and the bullet would be unstable….
Sure… but why? Copper is more expensive and lighter.

Nosler and Hornady would certainly sponsor us some tips Im sure, if we buy in bulk :biggrinn:
Now that we sorted this out, off to designing AP airgun slugs. Any takers? Snap turtle season is coming soon. :whistle:
