I suspect Dan would say the PJ Creedmoor was old school, the DanT elliptical with micro-mini grooves (or without) was the new hot-trick setup. Actually Doc Lay down in Louisiana was really pushing the envelope with his .45 cal Dan T Elliptical bullets,

Ya know, IF we were all still on "Shooters" I'd start an argument with Dan by telling him the neck's too short to cover the PJ mold! Base of the bullet is going to end up below the neck!

Man I miss those days! The experimentation some of you guys did to enhance 1800's technology was inspiring. Still remember the great debates on twist rates and whether a harder alloy has greater knock-down power on a ram than softer stuff. At least with the "mouse maulers" you weren't consumed with trying to take up space with grease cookies and cream of wheat fillers..

BTW, I no longer work for that company..left when the contracting gig became less lucrative and went back to working for .Gov, but without the uniform. Unless you call a polo shirt and 5.11 cargos a uniform Less $$, more stability, better benefits, but less fun.

Speaking of Mexia, what ever happened to the crazy dude with the bowling ball mortar??

A couple of DanT designs, note they are .45 cal which I haven't loaded in this century.



The first and third are the same bullet, but different drawings by Dan at different times. He took care of not only those of us addicted to the sub- calibers, but also the big boys, too.
