Lost River Ballistics 270 gr projectiles?

[PGWTW338]

Who has first hand experience with them? Any recipes for a PGW Timberwolf in .338LM? What kind of accuracy could one expect? Would they be worth reproducing on a twin spindle CNC?

I have a allot of them lol

You have a lot of them? They haven't been in production for many years, ever since Warren Jensen took off and LRBT went under. I shot them back in 2007 and they performed beautifully, (I would consider them among the best .338 bullets every made) but I think the material the bullet is made of is prone to fouling rather quickly, which is the only downside besides their cost at the time.

Any idea of what Copper or brass alloy they are made of? I could have it anylized to see
what exactly they are made of.

It's a copper/nickel alloy, the percentages of which I have no idea. One of the complications with making them apparently was dealing with heat build it - it took a skilled operator to make those bullets.
