Had some time today with the snow to do some errands with boxersix. After returned and tackled some work in the corner of my basement to put together the gun bunch and ammo reloading set-up.

Here is an interesting concept in _theory_
**[Bullet + Compensator = CompBullet](http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/12/06/bullet-compensator-compbullet/)**
```

> The CompBullet is an interesting bullet made by an Italian company. The bullets, made from a solid copper alloy, have vents machined into them. According to the company, these vents reduce friction by allowing gas to lubricate the bullet as it passes...

I would gladly do a side by side comparison of hand loads between these bullets and some regular balistic tip rounds, but I have some upfront questioning about them already,
How a muzzle brake works in relating to the rifle and barrel length is dependent upon a few factors and in reality the brake to achieve maximum effectiveness should be tuned to the very powder charge and weigh of the round being fired. The discharge port(s) are also calibrated in both size and location from the crown of the barrel. That right there is enough to question the reliability of a round such as this…because there is an infinite number of possible chambered bullet positions and absolutely no way to positively and consistently index the round into the breach so that the bullet leaves the muzzle in the exact same orientation every single shot(so the bullets ports are facing exactly where they should be)
Using gas to lube the barrel is good yes, but there are other ways companies have done this. Bullets still need to make barrel contact or they don’t do what they need to do.
I’d still be down for ordering a box and testing for “real world” user analysis, but until then and/or I hear that US snipers are using and trusting them to make exceptionally long hits i’d say they’re likely not worth the, without doubt, exhorbitant cost of these CNC’ed solid copper bullets.
that’s another thing too…solid copper…lolz. love to see what the kenetic energy chart is of these as well as they’re intended use. Would suck for hunting with virtually no expansion, and in comparison to tungsten/lead/steel core bullets they likely have little penetrating power in the military field.
just my .02

I just got another new rifle. It’s a Hi-point 9mm carbine. There pretty cheap new too. I’m hoping to go send some rounds through it tomorrow. Does anyone else have one of these?

$279 new + tax. It comes with a sling, 10 round mag, trigger lock, and iron sights. You can get the same rifle in a .45 cal version for the same price.
