That would be VERY expensive as there are hundreds of them. My drawing files take some determined effort to find some of them and it would be difficult to list them as the producer changes the names at times. You have to know the history to have an idea of what happened and when. The easiest thing to do is ask me. It takes some effort to see who produced it, when that was and how it was ran. Some of them are one-offs and copies really don't exist as the maker has passed on. Sorry, but I've been doing this since 1985.

The 359-640 lg hp cast from range scrap +2% tin loaded over 15gr H-110 usually sheds it's mushroom in the 3rd milk jug of water with the base continuing on through 6 jugs. On deer, it usually stays together on broadside lung shots leaving a 1" or so exit. There are some other routes you guys don't use which allow greater or lesser efficiency when you shoot and kill something. I have passed some of these things on in the past, but they take some learning to get it right AND I don't get questions thereafter or trials, failures or successes noted. The way the hollow point arrangement is set up, you can run them from mild to wild and achieve about the same killing effe3ct (with different alloys and heat treatments). I test most of these (that are suitable) from 700 fps to over 2,600 fps out of various pistols and rifles in the caliber size. |

I really don't shoot that 359-640 as a hollow point much, but it's done well as long as I keep the alloy softer (12bhn in magnum, 15bhn in the Maximum). I also powder coat them all and use an aluminum gas check on the maximum as well.
The lighter weight 360-640 is used as a hollow point exclusively, usually the large pin, over 8grs of Longshot in the magnum. Mild but pretty good performance on coyotes and would be my first choice for self defense.
