These are A-Square, Barnes, Federal, Hornady, Nosler/Combined Technology, Remington, Sierra, Speer, Swift, Winchester and Woodleigh.Īll hunting bullets are designed for limited purposes and to perform properly over a finite range of velocities. Due to limitations of space and time, only bullet designs from widely known and distributed manufacturers are included. Unfortunately, there are so many hunting bullets from so many manufacturers, in so many calibers and weights, that is it is simply impossible to deal with every bullet individually. Links to all of the bullet makers mentioned in this series are provided on the Guns and Shooting Online Links Page.
I use Winchester's "CXP" (Controlled eXPansion) 1-4 scale to describe the various classes of game animals (1=varmints, 2=medium game, 3=large game, 4=thick-skinned dangerous game), so if you are not familiar with it, please read the article "The CXP Rating System for Hunting Cartridges." I have previously written fairly extensively about the subject of hunting bullets and most of those articles can be found in the same place, under the "Bullets" heading on the Rifle Information Page here on Guns and Shooting Online. For our purposes, "big game" starts at animals weighing perhaps 80 pounds and goes up from there to animals as large as pachyderms. The purpose of this series is to assist the reader in choosing an appropriate jacketed, expanding bullet for hunting big game animals. Part One addresses the subject by caliber, bullet weight and application. This article is Part Two of the series and addresses big game hunting bullets by manufacturer and bullet design or type.
