one by Charlie Kelsey back 20 years ago or so. He came up with pretty much the same design with the flutes. He was a good friend and sent us a big box of the bullets to test for penetration and such. They weren't a cast lead as they are too hard but I am not sure what they are.They don't look like any jacketed material I have seen before, maybe a zinc coating over lead? They are heavy and hard and we loaded them up to do the testing in a 454 Casull. Before we could finish the testing Charlie was killed. He was found in a ditch with a couple of bullet holes in his head. I still have the bullets and haven't done any more with them. But as far as I know all these swirl type bullets are a spin off of Charlie's bullet of 20 years or more ago.
