[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1336349, member: 4191"] I just checked my field-tested G7 BC value for the 215gr Berger Hybrids I've been shooting in my 30/375 S.I. My bullets are meplat-uniformed and countersunk with the Kevin Cram meplat uniforming tools. Berger specs a G7 BC of 0.354 for their 215gr Hybrid. I use a G7 BC value of 0.330 on the meplat-uniformed bullets. A reduction of 6.8% reduction from the factory value. So by swapping over to the 225gr Hornady, I'll improve my G7 BC value by [B]18.5[/B]%. From 0.330 to 0.391. [I]That's a substantial improvement[/I]! I think you make a good point and recommendation Rich. I'd been waiting for some ELD-Xs, as Hornady has been promoting them as the better hunting bullet. If the ELD-Ms perform as well (maybe better from your perspective) than the ELD-Xs, then I should wait no longer. Time to place an order... see how they shoot. The Hornady BC values are dead nuts on, correct? Should be if they're using their Doppler radar equipment... [/QUOTE]
