[QUOTE="300spanker, post: 500663, member: 12221"] Long time, and Montana, we have shot the 177's out of two ultra's so far, and definatley on the lands seems to be the ticket, i couldn;t be any closer than 0.080 on one gun so i am having .125 taken off barrel. i also shot 104 grains of retumbo on the 177 and it was to much powder in case. it was compressed to say the least. didn't have much pressure sign. Changed to the H1000. After talking to Anthony at GS who is Gherards son-inlaw, i called Gherard back in november and requested a long nose HV 338 bullet with a bc around .75-.8, he said they would start working on it. he felt to get that high of BC it will require a 1 in 9 twist, he also thought it would be in the 250-260 grain range. ususally 15-18% less weight than similar bc types. these bullets will be magic if they open and i can get them to shoot .5 moa out of my rifles. off the lands everything was an inch, the other gun is shooting .6 on the lands. last year we shot 6 great bucks in colorado, and on our way home to arizona i decided that the best long range bullet would be a combination of a berger or jlk on the front 60% and then a H bar section like the partion to retain 40% on the rear. Is there a bullet that does this? if not someone should build it, to me it would be the shangra la of long range hunting. spanker [/QUOTE]
