Open-Tip Precision with Structural Stability


What the Scorpion System Is

The Gold Country Scorpion Bullet System is built for shooters who prioritize accuracy first, with terminal behavior that follows structure, not spectacle.

Scorpion bullets use an open-tip design — not as an expansion trigger, but as a byproduct of precision manufacturing. There is no exposed lead, and no intent for early upset.

The open tip exists to improve balance, concentricity, and consistency, not to create a hollow-point effect.


Why the Scorpion Exists

Many shooters misunderstand open-tip bullets.

The Scorpion exists to correct that.

An open tip does not mean rapid expansion.
It means manufacturing precision.

By forming the jacket from the base forward and closing it at the nose, weight distribution becomes more uniform — which directly improves in-flight stability and accuracy.

The Scorpion was created for shooters who value predictability before deformation.


Open Tip, Closed Intent

Key Scorpion characteristics:

  • Open tip with no exposed lead
  • Copper jacketed construction
  • Precision-balanced core
  • No mechanical expansion trigger

Terminal behavior is governed by:

  • Impact velocity
  • Jacket thickness
  • Resistance encountered
  • Bullet orientation at impact

Not by cavities, petals, or polymer components.


Stable Flight, Honest Terminal Behavior

The Scorpion does not attempt to force expansion.

Instead, it delivers:

  • Excellent in-flight stability
  • Consistent point of impact
  • Straight-line penetration
  • Minimal deformation unless resistance dictates otherwise

This makes it especially effective for:

  • Precision-oriented shooters
  • Longer-range applications where accuracy dominates
  • Situations where penetration is preferred over expansion
  • Shooters who want the bullet to behave as physics dictates

Where the Scorpion Fits

Within the Gold Country Bullet Systems:

  • Rhino → maximum crush and penetration
  • Badger → structural deformation with petals
  • Razorback → delayed deformation at distance
  • Viper → natural soft-tip expansion
  • Scorpion → precision-first, structure-governed behavior

The Scorpion is the system for shooters who believe accuracy is the first terminal effect.
