I pulled one of these and mangled it to find out just what it is. The part hidden inside the case is basically a soft swaged WC without the hollow base. The lead is swaged up into the "metal point" with the base of the metal point crimped into the lead. If this load has any kind of real velocity I'd expect severe leading. The "metal" is just copper so I don't see how this bullet can have any special penetrating abilities. The only real benefit I see here is to Remington's bottom line, considering how cheap this bullet would be to produce. So there was really a time when people paid money for this and thought it was something special?
