Truncated Cone Solid Bullet (TCSB)

Truncated Cone Solid Bullet (TCSB)

Hunting Competition

Truncated Cone Solid Bullets (TCSB) are non-expanding projectiles made from solid copper, brass, or hard cast lead alloy with a truncated cone profile. The flat point and solid construction deliver maximum penetration—these bullets don't expand or fragment, driving straight through targets. TCSB is popular for dangerous game backup (Cape buffalo, elephant, hippo) where penetration through thick hide, bone, and muscle is paramount. The truncated cone shape feeds reliably and creates a larger wound channel than round nose solids. Some competitive shooters also use TCSB for its clean paper holes and consistent performance.

FAQ

Why use non-expanding bullets for dangerous game?
Dangerous game like Cape buffalo or elephant require penetration through heavy bone and muscle to reach vitals—sometimes 3-4 feet of tissue. Expanding bullets can't penetrate this deeply. Solids drive straight through, ensuring the bullet reaches vital organs regardless of entry angle.
TCSB vs round nose solids?
TCSB creates larger wound channels due to the flat point while feeding as reliably as round nose. The flat front doesn't deflect as much off bone. For dangerous game, TCSB is generally preferred over round nose for these reasons.
