But i have seen pictures of the north forks with rather deep engravings in the shank as well,the answer is really not that hard to figure out, less bands and deeper groves to make sure that no harm will come to anybodys gun, but since nobody makes them yet, apparently it is hard to figure out
Exactly. Peter, I've seen the same thing with every brand of this type made. A .450 bullet - .450" bore/.458" groove - should have an internal shank smaller than .450", and a fewer number of THIN, full caliber bands deeper than .004". The metal is hard as a pair of good quality woodpecker lips, they don't need to be anything like as wide as they are on the Barnes "banded" bullet.
