A hunting buddy of mine just bought a bunch of these for his 338 Edge which brought up the topic of B.C. Does any buddy know what it is for these bullets and is anyone using them yet?
thanks!
thanks!
JEEZ, I posted the 225 grain info. Sorry long day
well thats a little disapointing. I was thinking these would have been closer to the 600 mark. I'm sure thay will still shoot. we'll see. thanks fellas.
txlongrange, I will sale you some cheap. I don't want to burst your bubble and hope you have great success with them. Here is my story with them. Like you I saw that high BC and went nuts over them. Ordered 4 boxes cause I got about 15 big 338's I like to shoot. I have built a lot of guns and believe me the ones I keep will shoot. I tried them in guns that will shoot anything good and some exceptional. The new 250 hornady is the worst shooting bullet I have ever shot, right there with the old barnes x before they cut the 3 cute little grooves in them and called them triple shock. I shot them in rifles that will shoot most anything into 2-4 inch groups at a quarter mile and they went to 9" groups. I tried seating depths, different powders, etc. Just couldn't get them to shoot. I have had great success with hornady bullets for 40 years but these didn't work out. I have some A-max and SST loads in other calibers that shoot great. Matter of fact I have some great loads with the 225 SST in some 338 rifles. Maybe I just got a terrible batch of them. If anyone has had any success with them I would like to know. I thought about sending these things back to hornady for a refund and see if they could figure it out.
I have shot the 225 AB's and they shoot very well. With that high BC in a light per caliber bullet I expect it to do very well. I have not done much work with the 250 AB's but the groups I have shot with them were very good. With the minimal BC difference the 225 AB seems to make more sense so I really tested that one and stopped with the 250.
