ID These Bullets??

[jds holler]

Picked up a bag of about 700 of these for forty bucks at our little gun show.
They are 20 cal. (.204), flat base, hollow points. Hollow point is conical, coming to a point at the bottom. They are copper, non lead core. Vertical striations on the ogive.
Listed as 32 gr., weight varies pretty badly ranging from 31.4 to 32.4. I'm now sorting into three different weight groups. I'm gonna try sorted weights vs unsorted to see what groups say.

Those are not a mono are they 22dasher??

Ah shoot I didn’t see you said all cooper. Not sure if they made them lead free or not but that’s what they look like.

I was thinking Barnes because of the "all copper" thing. I don't know who else makes those. With the +/- .5 grain thing, I don't think they are premium bullets.

They look awful short for a 32g 20 to be all copper, cut one open see if its a lead core?

Yeah, I did that. jd

Do a search they are Aussie copper projectiles!

If they shoot at all, $40 for 700 is one heck of a deal!

I will do that.

Length of these is average .615". Error factor of +/- .006". These validate the theory that you DO NOT want your tips to bottom in your seating plug. jd

The Ausie site doesn't have any close matches, and they seem to be of very good quality. These -- not so much.

The insides seem to be sintered copper packed into a copper cup/jacket.

Maybe Varmint Grenade?? jd

Duh, Yeah. These are 26 grain. The OP's are 32.

Didnt BArnes make a 20 cal VG?

I know the 22 cal I tried was all over the place
