Hi-tech Winchester HYBRID-X 9 MM Bullet:

Projectile design really seems to be getting a lot of  'science' applied to design and manufacture.

This recent release is unproven by time & experience but it seems like an attempt to grab the best of  ideas and to combine all the various features into one concept?

This round has an injection molded fluted copper-polymer nose cap crowning a four-way segmenting lead core all riding in a copper jacket ... (I think I would have considered a non-lead segmenting core).

It starts-out as a 124 grain projectile at 1,225 feet per second muzzle velocity.

.. Possibly related to an earlier Tom Burczynski designed pre-segmented Quik-Shok slug:



Yeah I know that I'm getting old (getting?) - but aren't things becoming overly complicated?



If this stuff ever arrives down here in New Zealand it will likely cost a weeks wages for each box.

.. And you'll still need to achieve optimal bullet placement.
