[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 214962, member: 9705"] JD338: I think that makes sense. Adding weight in the middle of the bullet while keeping the nose and boattail the same will increase the BC by a modest amount. To really increase the BC of a heavy bullet you have to lenghten the ogive in proportion to the incease in weight or even more. You cann't just add weight in the middle of the bullet. I suspect it is more expensive to lenghten all proportions of the bullet. If you really want a high BC bullet, and I do, keep the same bearing surface as the 225 while doubling the length of the ogive and boattail. Now we're talking a long range bullet. But the only bullet makers doing that are the custom makers of the Al tipped bullets. Guess I'll buy theirs if we can get a reliable supply, they are accurate, and they perform on game. Just my take... [/QUOTE]
