    terminal ascent projectiles

    doing some homework for a future project.
    these are a reincarnation of the edge which was an incarnation of the trophy bonded tip which was an incarnation of the trophy bonded bear claw.
    Think I have that right? I'll stand corrected if I haven't.
    looking at using them in a 264 win mag. Seem to be a good compromise for speed v weight v retained hitting power a long way out. Like a partition but a little lighter so can go a little faster/flatter. no point having a 264wm if it is going as fast as a 6.5x55
    What sort of load data do you start with as there doesn't seem to be much about?
    Barnes solid coppers? they wouldn't be tougher/harder than them so would have less pressure yeah?
    anyone have anything definitive?
