Vintage Ballistic Tip RWS H-Mantel Expanding Bullet

RWS H-Mantel is a very early iteration dating back to 1934 of what is now popular as a polymer ballistic tip, but decades before the widespread use of cheap and readily available plastics when the polymer ballistic tip was introduced by Nosler in 1984.
It uses a hollow copper cup instead of polymer to achieve the same goal. This vintage projectile is seemingly from 1947, but the H-Mantel is still offered by RWS in more modern versions.

Interesting. At first glance, it appears to be the old Bronze Point bullet.

I’m not sure what that is. Do you have a link?

@@ColterBrog I have a box of the bullets somewhere. They are from the 60s-70s. They were Remington in 30-06.

@@jimv.661I think, maybe, I’ve seen those before a long time ago.
