[QUOTE="memtb, post: 899263, member: 75451"] First, a Happy New Year to all! I'm a new member and this is my first post. I came to Long Range Hunting Forum hoping to see if there was any interest in a .375 bullet with improved BC's. It was this very "thread" which caused me to join-up. I am impressed with the knowledge and civility shown in this conversation. Maybe with enough of us working together, we can get some progress on better bullets. I have been in contact with with Barnes numerous times over the last several years requesting a .375 TTSX at around .500 BC. While not a true ELR BC, still better than what is offered at present. I was recently told that if interested shooters would contact Barnes by email with this request that perhaps it would be considered at an upcoming discussion on new bullet introductions. While this would not satisfy the true ELR shooter,with enough interest shown in, let's say something around 300 grns. it would be "a foot in the door" for potentially more offerings. I will admit that this is a selfish request as I personally will probably not need or use something with a BC greater than .500, as I have nothing to push it with.
