The soft point cutting edge. Ironically, it’s not an example of cutting-edge hunting bullet technology. The SPCE has no polymer. No bonding. No InterLock ring, two-piece core, or “ballistically engineered solid base.” It takes down deer the old-fashioned way – the best way to do anything at this point in history.
Ballistic info: 150 grain bullet; 2,789 fps muzzle velocity (23.5” test barrel); 0.290 G1 BC; 2,041 ft lbs striking energy at 100 yds; -3.7” drop 100 yds downrange of 100-yd zero. The SPCE bullet itself: lead core and CuZn 10 (i.e. brass) jacket.
The soft point bullet works simply: impact crushes the soft lead nose, then peels back the jacket to produce hog-killing expansion. That just leaves the question: what in the Sam Hill is a “cutting edge?” Basically, the base of the SPCE is shaped like a wadcutter, complete with a shoulder. But instead of a flat nose, the SPCE transitions into a more conventional spitzer profile. The performance advantage comes from the shoulder, which “cuts” a large, clean hole into the quarry on contact. This inflicts greater harm than a sweeping, softly curved spitzer-only bullet could manage. Very clever! And reloadable, too.
