Mystery bullets
These 100 gr, .264 diameter bullets were given to me some time ago. The guy said he thought they were Hornady. I have looked at all the major bullet maker sites for it. None of them seem to make this flat base, spitzer in this weight. Perhaps one they do not make anymore?
It does not really matter who makes it....just my OCD kicking in a little. I am only going to use them to get my sons used to shooting my CZ. Any actual hunting will be done with a 125gr Partition or a 140gr HotCor.
Bullet length is .955".....if that helps.
Anyone?
Thank you!

They kinda look like a Speer bullet. 0 -
I think most Hornady bullets use a secant ogive. You could take measurements and see if it fits the curve. 0 -

That was my first thought, but they are not listed in my manual (13, I think).0 -

After a bit of research, it appears to be a "hybrid" ogive....and again, nothing listed anywhere.0 -
Diggin' deep into the old memory banks and they look a lot like some Herter's bullets I used to have. Never did know who actually made them, but at the time, Speer was my best guess. 0 -
You're killing me, Bill! [:D]
Thanks, Robert. I have already shot some that were loaded light. No issues. I suppose it really makes very little difference who made them anyway.0 -
If you use a starting load and work up, it really doesn't make much diff. 0 -
