In researching bullets for the 7.62 x 54r years ago and again recently I came across the D166 bullets and since I have been thinking about them frequently.
I don't know what it is about them but they have an appeal I can't explain other than my imagination working over time with them. I guess they just look like they would fly right in my mind.
I would have jumped on them with an order but I hunt with my rifles and the D166 are FMJs so they are illegal to hunt with.
So here's where I am going with this. How would a guy go about convincing a manufacturer to produce a pin holed hollow point D166 in maybe a 150 grain for deer and 200 grain for Elk?
Maybe a pole I could send to a manufacturer would be a way to start.
