[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 263338, member: 2011"] The WC 169.5s I believe, were made with Corbin tapered jackets and are great performers both ballistically and terminally. I loaded, if I remember correctly (my books are back in Idaho) w/99 grains of US 869 upwards of 3300 fps???? 195s were make with something like J3/J4 jackets and wouldn't stand the robust treatment in about 1/2 of the Lilja 3 groove barrels @ 3000 FPS plus. After somewhere around the typical 400 rounds they started dusting on a regular basis. Berger 150s wouldn't hold up to the rigors of the barrel experience at AM velocities. I saw no use to load them down to around 3200 when I can shoot the 140 NAs @ a solid 3600. Those that have expressed interest in burning some powder behind these "new customized high BC bullets PM me your physical addy and I'll get you some. Do you think 25 would be a sufficient number. I'll accept suggestions on the number. We want to wring these things out pretty thourghly. I won't have a rife for testing until later this spring. [/QUOTE]
