The Herter Wasp Waist Sonic Bullets were shown in the
First Annual Edition of the "Handloader's Digest" in 1961.
They were offered in .22, 6mm, .270 and .30 cal.
.22's were 55 gr.; 6mm's were 85 gr.; .270's were 130 gr.; and
.30's were 150 & 180 grain.
Prices were $2.19 to $4.15 per 100.
They were touted as giving better accuracy, perfect mushrooming,
lower breech pressures, and able to maintain velocities for longer ranges. At least, that's what Herter's said.
Herter made rash claims on some of his products but he had a lot of good stuff; something like a Cabellas.
I'd like to see some terminal velocity comparisons.
