Just finished these two last week and cast a few up to check weights, etc.

Fantastic.
Thankyou sir, we do indeed have a great hobby.

Forgive my ignorance but what do you cut those with? I really like your work and imagination.

There might be a bit of genius in the Phillips tip bullets. The spinning flutes throw the air out of the way so the bullet is flying thru a vacuum. Thus it has a BC of 5. Just a thought ......

Sure would be interested in the TL SWC in .360 dia..
If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.

WOW! I would love to see the results of the Phillips head projectile on game! Can you try some wet pack tests?
What if the tip was twisted to accommodate the twist of the barrel, effectively screwing its way through the air?
I am very interested in seeing some shooting results with those bullets!,,,PLEASE

There's no ignorance in wondering how it was done. I use an older cnc mill at work when theres down time. It does an adequate job most of the time but can give me fits occasionally. It's worn and the controller doesn't interpolate surface curves as a newer controller would. All in all it gets me stuff I couldn't get anywhere else and lets me play with my imagination.

It's a good theory, but how the heck could someone prove it ? I bet if you could jog along next to it it would make some kind of hummmmming noise :)

Come spring and the good weather I'm going to try some tests with them and some others I've concocted. I'll need to use a softer alloy though, these are primarily linotype, it's all I have at the moment.
I'm cutting this one over the weekend, it's for the 45acp.
And this one I finished in 30cal a few weeks ago

I think these are nothing short of specatular. I would love a series of cartridges for the loading room wall sporting each design. I think you could have a great novelty line here for gun shows etc.

Why thankyou ! A labor of love :)

Looks interesting but I wonder what kind of nose support the four lands on the nose of the bullet would get from say,a four or 6 land barrel. Have you shot any yet or driven any through the barrel to see what kind of land engraving occurs on the nose ? Symetrical?

They look Gerrrrrate!!!!! keep us posted on how they shoot. I am always looking for something new to shoot.

Something new and different is what makes this hobby great. New and different doesn't always equal superior, or even good. But it's fun. I'll try some of these when it warms up and let you know.
Heres the ones I'm working on now. Should have the football done by Tuesday. Then the pencil sharpener, pencil eraser, swirl, whistle, and 6.5mm phillips. The others are just conventional stuff and can wait till the fun stuff is done.

Hopefully this spring I'll have some answers as to accuracy or lack there of :) Four groove barrel, four lands on the nose ? Sounds straight forward but I can almost envision some hit or miss, maybe one land falling into a groove, or stripping out. I don't know.. The feasibility will be apparant this spring.

Hmmmmm.. No I'm afraid not... Yet. I have it modeled solid, but If it looks decent I might think about cutting a HP pin and giving it a try. That would be one strange bullet. Everytime you pull the trigger, dogs howl.

I WANT one that actually whistles! :)

Wow! Unique designs and something to be proud of. With advances in technology I'm excited to think that the possibility of a 3D printer will come out that will allow the design of composite bullets of different designs.

I do use a 3D printer to proto some of the designs so I can actually hold it and look at it from different directions. It helps when you're thinking of cutting a mold.
