Did you guys see this?

Yeah, I saw that a while back, actually one of the first videos if his that I watched. It was a loonnnggg time before I watched another as my first impression was not............favorable. Funny how we don't get to see him actually shoot the target

 

[hand skills]

I love Eric's Believe the Target series. I think this is an older video that he reposted

He definitely 'got me' with this one first time around.

This time, I'm in stitches

Too bad he beat you to the 'Deform to Perform' trademark, Steve

Spoiler

pay close attention to the release date of the video

 

[aratliff]

Had me going…and ready to toss the BS flag.
Of course I wasn’t thinking about when the video might have been released.
Well played, Mr. Cortina. Well played.

 

[BFD]

Yeah, an April fools joke vid.

 

[Steve Davis]

We were all watching it and thinking there is no way he can be this bumb. Precision lathe!!! lol! This is how you know that it was shot at 1000y!!! He could barely keep a straight face!

Years back Hornady was the first to do an April fools product vid I think. It was camera bullets. They said they made little cameras that would record the in flight view to target. I initially was like, welp technology is really getting out of this world! LOL Then I began to question how the camera would stay still spinning at super high RPMs. Then I counted how long the in flight video was and it was too long for average flight times...they got my *** for a good 15 min.

Had me going with all his talk of precision with harbour freight lathes and slapping them in a 3 jaw… the ultimate in precision..

 

[BFD]

So much for “Cavity Back” bullets…

Glad to hear that you are finally getting serious about making good bullets! No more Swiss junk!

I'll ship you the Harbor Freight lathe and save you the trip to town!

 

[Nicoli7153]

He does have a great sense of humor!
On his most recent April Fools he made some 3d printed rounds and shot them! (Tounge in cheek )

Eric's "joke" is no joke! They are out there to increase baring surface per weight. No clue on terminal performance or accuracy.

COPPER BULLETS COPPER PROJECTILES

 

[gltaylor]

The concept is fairly old with lead core (didn't work particularly well). The all copper is a new one on me.

 

[Steve Davis]

Here is what I know. Cutting Edge started out with cavities in their bullets and no longer do it. The first CE bullets we shot were cavity. I can only guess that it was not worth doing. My guess is the loss of several grains in the rear of the bullet was not beneficial. The cavity back guy claims to have a patent but to my knowledge the patent ran out long before he ever made bullets.

If they popped some tungsten into the hole, they might have something

Do you think it might be a partial solution to 1-6 ratio in all copper?

 

[gltaylor]

Interesting thought.
No idea? But still rather doubtful?
