[QUOTE="Broz, post: 667877, member: 7503"] The only actual personal field data I can share is that they do very well out of a 300 win with a 1 in 10 twist. We send the OTM's at 2775 mv. We found them to not only catch the 210's from the same rifle (2916 MV) by 1000 yards and match velocity but also to deliver more energy. From 1000 on the 230's take over almost every 30 cal bullet we have tested. Also for your .308 don't over look the 215 Berger witha BC of .696. They are long though and would most likely need to be single fed in your rifle to save case space. I have done the actal testing on targets and I have no doubts. Heavy high BC bullets reward a shooter well with less drift. Less drift will undoubtably result in closer to point of aim hits and better shot placement. The rewards of higher muzzle velocity are sometimes just smoke and mirrors when you have to sacrifice bullet weight to get it. Jeff [/QUOTE]
