Any idea on the BC for this bullet? It looks very interesting...

I've been shooting Lapua 185 RBT's in a .308 for a few years, very accurate, high bc, too bad they only weigh 185 gr.

I am working on my loads and will probably test these bullets on Monday or Tuesday. When I do I will shoot through a chrony 15 feet from the muzzle and at 100 yards. I should be able to calculate the actual BC from that.

As Mr. Burns would say....
Exceeeeellent!

:grin:

Dynamic BC instead of static BC, even better!
