If we theorize that the rifle is just the launching pad for the bullet then questions arise on Ele solids.

Present conventional round nose solids can be hard on barrels and may be out penetrated by flatnose designs.

Assuming equal accuracy are flat nose solids a better choice? Maybe so--

The flat top banded solids are great and North Forks cupped solid may be the best of the best.Too bad neither North Fork or GS bullets make a 600 gr .510 diameter cupped solid bullet(SD-330).Personally,I think that may be the ultimate solid for DG in a portable rifle.An Ele solid par excellence!!

Are there better solids for big bores out there?? Who makes them?
