[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 262616, member: 7999"] Kevin, Does one bullet manufacturer usually share with another about the nuts and bolts? If so give them a call and ask them. Or do what, I assume you do w/ all the other bullets out there, get some and pick them apart. Figure out what they are doing, and weather or not it works. They have three diff lines of bullets, two hunting and one target. I ordered some of their new hunting bullets to test them out for my self, surely Berger bullets can do the same. Maybe it is just easier to come on a public forum and lead people to believe it is not true weather you know it to be or not. I went to their web site and pulled these #'s: 197g, .308cal match target bullet, 1.85" long, .99" nose length. BC's: .942 @ 3300fps, .838 @ 2250fps, .617 @ 1200fps. Min required twist 1:8.5. It seems that people here are saying that it is not possible (I don't know) with a bullet that is this light. Yet most of you accept that the Wild Cat bullets that are much lighter than Match Kings are able to have much higher BC"s. If I am not mistaken this is possible because they are made of a different material and shape. Our rifles have advanced their abilities in leaps and bounds. Yet our bullets have remained relatively unchanged for the last 50yrs. It only makes sense that bullets are going to catch up to the abilities of the bigger faster calibers that are here and common now. One last question. When Wild Cat bullets showed up, did any of you say 'that's not possible, I'll believe it when they show me how they tested them, and prove it to me'? Or did you all get in line to get some? I don't get it. Steve [/QUOTE]
