Our bullets are already priced below retail.
The margin is already very small.
There is more machining required than any other bullet but the results are proven.
Our bullets are premium match grade high expansion bullets that extend the usable range of the 6.5 Grendel. To a whopping 450 yards with 99% weight retention!!
It cost more to build bullets that dont come apart, its easier and cheaper to build bullets that do just break into pieces like some of the others mentioned.
Our bullets are designed to promote massive blood loss, have deep penetration, leave a massive blood trail if needed due to poor shot placement or animal movement.
If the shooter does their job there will be no need for a blood trail as the animal will be DRT.
It kills me when folks spend so much money on the rifle of their dreams and choice. So much money to hunt and all the associated gear.
Then do not buy the absolute best bullet available.
Many of you know I started in the variant caliber world on the 6.8 platform. That is where I developed the CBB design.
I worked hard to bring it to the Grendel so that the Grendel community could get the advantage of it as well.
Truth be told the 6.8 120 MKZ is good to about 425 yards, the Grendel 118 MKZ is good to 450 yards. In both calibers it is effective farther out than any other bullet.
When you have that long shot that your not quite sure of and you are shooting our bullets you can take it with confidence.
Inside those ranges you can have the confidence you are using the best bullet available in the 6.5 Grendel.
That's got to be worth something, like a few cents more a bullet.
A quote from RickOshay
"This bullet opened up below 1800 fps, likely to be down in the high 1600s/low 1700s. I do not have any load data for this LFP, but assume one can achieve 2400 fps from a 20” barrel, similar to the 120s listed below. The high BC and low minimum velocity give this MKZ an effective range of 450 yds!"
Many are now getting in the 2600 fps range from a 20in barrel. My personal ARcomp load from an 18in ARP Melonited barrel (they are a fast barrel) is 2550 FPS, my max load CFE load is at 2650. Do the math on those. (no load data to share sorry, the atty says no public data). My point is you can hit 2500 from a 20in easy enough.
The link to his report. Which was at the beginning of bringing the CCB line to the Grendel.The petals are now staying intact to higher speeds and the weight is now where it is supposed to be. As DoubleNaughtSpy found in his use on hogs, yotes and a poor beaver, lol.
