Quiet Bullets?
« on: November 14, 2003, 02:50:49 PM »
Mr Smith,

Great having you back.   I notice that the "quiet bullets" you used to offer are not in the current catalog.  I've always liked plinking in the backyard and regretted the fact that I never ordered one of these molds.   Any plans to offer them in the future?

Quiet bullets were left out of the catalog by accident, but are still available.  Jut ask for whatever caliber you want.  Price for mold is same as any other.

Gents the principal behind the Q bullet is very minor engravement surface aka bearing surface which gives a low degree of engraving resistance.  Takes very little powder to give this slug a pop out the bore at very moderate speeds... with less noise produced per the low fuel volume. Best with using pure lead.

Another way to duplicate this technique is using a ww alloy bullet under groove dia and firing them backwards [base first] at again very moderate speeds.

Veral said something to the effect of this a 'sub-berbs' bullet for various vermon [not the neighbor BTW]. Remember as I've found out with my pellet gun that these slower pro-JECT-iles do deflect easier hitting various brush etc.... be SAFE.
