ryan,

Some of Max's bullets had a "diamond tip" which was made of clear lexan. Same principal as the ballistic tip or vmax plastic inserts used for rapid expansion varmint bullets. Look closer at the pics posted above and you can see thru the lexan tips just like a diamond.

Okay I see that they are see thru... But now how does he get such a nice point like that? In which form die or after the fact or how is what I am asking?
And where does he get that clear point stuff to put on the bullets Thanks

Ryan,
I bought some Seirra seconds in 40 Bking. They had some of the green tips loose in the box. They are cast of plastic and look like an arrow tip, the top wedge you see, and then a post that goes down into the hollow point before point forming the bullet. I have no clue where to get them for making your bullets. Check with Blackmon, Calhoon or Corbin for sources?????

Mike

I believe Max had a set-up for moulding the plastic tips he used on his bullets. At least that is what I remember from my conversations with him.

Default Max bought the tips,

but I don't think he told me where. When I "helped" him make a few for Stephen, one of the steps was to clean-up the hollow-point so the tip would just start in. Then, back into the point-up die--had to use a "feel" for when the tip was seated without crushing it. Labor of Love, for sure. Here's a pick of the Diamond Tip by itself:


Reports of his passing were a figment of my imagination.
Sorry, Max
Bob

I get the Clear Lexan. But is there anybody that you know that makes the ejector for the tips or a die to seat them in the point form die? Thanks

Question Black hole bullets

I have a 20 Tac in an AR15 that seems to love the 39gr.Sierras. Haven't tried them at 300 yds. though. Someone said they are a bit less accurate than at 100yds. Found 10X powder to work ! But, wow, those black hole bullets look awsum ! I truely hope Max is going to get well and continue making them. Just for asking, were they made in 38-40 gr. wt.? And just for S and G, what would it cost to buy those bullet making dies and get started ?

charles--I don't believe Max is going to be making any more bullets. I believe I read on this Board that he had sold his bullet making dies.
