Gold Country Razorback — 240-Grain .429 Hollow-Point Controlled-Penetration Bullet

Gold Country Razorback — 240-Grain .429 Hollow-Point Controlled-Penetration Bullet

$69.95

Built to penetrate first, then deform.

The 240-grain .429 Razorback hollow point is a controlled-penetration bullet designed to maintain structural integrity while delivering predictable deformation across handgun and rifle velocities.

Description

Designed to Enter Intact — Then Work

The Razorback series exists for shooters who want predictable terminal behavior, not rapid upset driven by fragile cavities or thin jackets.

This 240-grain .429 Razorback hollow point is engineered to resist premature expansion, maintain forward momentum, and begin deformation only after resistance is encountered.

It is designed to arrive intact first — then work.


Why the 240-Grain .429 Razorback Exists

In .429-caliber platforms, especially those used for hunting or defensive purposes, hollow-point bullets often fail in one of two ways:

  • early, uncontrolled expansion with shallow penetration

  • inconsistent behavior as velocity changes between handgun and rifle barrels

The Razorback addresses this by combining mass, jacket strength, and controlled hollow-point geometry into a single system.

The goal is not rapid expansion.
The goal is reliable penetration with controlled deformation.


Serrated Jacket with Proud Petals — Structural Control

The Razorback’s defining feature is its serrated copper jacket, with slightly proud jacket petals extending above the lead core.

This architecture:

  • delays deformation until resistance is encountered

  • resists jacket peel-back and fragmentation

  • allows controlled upset to begin inside penetration

  • preserves mass and directional stability

The hollow-point cavity is supported, not thin-walled, ensuring deformation occurs progressively rather than catastrophically.


Controlled Penetration Across Velocity Ranges

This bullet is not tuned for one narrow impact speed.

Instead, it delivers:

  • straight-line penetration

  • delayed, controlled hollow-point deformation

  • consistent crush path through mixed tissue and bone

  • predictable performance from both handgun and rifle barrels

That makes it suitable where outcome consistency matters more than expansion theater.


Flat Base and Cannelure for Repeatability

A flat base favors stability and predictable exit behavior, while a properly placed cannelure allows for:

  • secure crimping

  • consistent seating depth

  • reduced risk of setback under recoil

These features support repeatable performance in revolvers, lever guns, and single-shot platforms.


Hand-Swaged, Match-Quality Construction

Every Razorback bullet is hand swaged, not mass poured.

This ensures:

  • uniform jacket concentricity

  • consistent core placement

  • repeatable weight and balance

Built for shooters who care about what happens after the trigger breaks.
