New Zwickey BH - the "No Mercy"
« on: September 15, 2007, 02:35:00 PM »
Just heard from Dale Karch that 3Rivers got a shipment of Zwickey's new BH design. Dale and I field tested the prototype heads on water buffalo and they were awesome.

Go to 3Rivers and read all about it. They are 130 grains, and as yet, priceless. They come in 3-packs instead of the 6-packs, so I anticipate that there is a price hike here. They do not obediently leap into your shopping cart when you give the command, and so the clamor grows...

A narrowed-down Delta. Not sure what advantage over the Eskimo?

Kinda looks like a light version of the Stos to me...  Nothing wrong with that either.

I guess they changed the name from "Little Delta" to "No Mercy"????

No thanks. If I want a single bevel head, it'll be a Grizzly.

Don't know for sure yet...but if they are the same width, then the longer length of the 'No Mercy' will make it penetrait better as they have a longer edge to the same width .

Zwickey Delta is 1/4 inch longer and 1/4 wider at its widest part. Save money buy Deltas and modify them yourself to the same profile and the single bevel. I think that would be even better if your modification didn't change the length of the Delta.

I'm sure it is a great head, but I think C2 makes a good point.  I'd rather have a modified Delta that maintains closer to 3:1 or just get a Grizzly

Nice to see another single bevel....and one with a sharp point. [/QB]
So is that the answer to the million dollar bevel question? If so, I'd be considering using these. Narrowing a Delta myself and creating a single-bevel would also mean dropping significant grain weight to get there. Not worth it. But the new heads would have the 135 gr. intact, good steel, and Zwickey's reputation for excellent ferrule roundness.
