[QUOTE="biggjake, post: 154678, member: 787"] Thanks for that info Kirby.I've heard that real BC testing is pretty involved.The fact that these bullets are only 50 grains heavier than the 300's,and in a significantly larger diameter,unless Sierra did something special to the design of these things,I'd be very surprised to learn that the BC's are as good as the 300 grainers,let alone higher .When I first talked to Barney Lawton about these bullets,he said he had them on order,and was taking deposits.At the time,I asked him if he had any estimates on cost ,and his exact words to me were "A little more than the 300gr 338's",so I'm still hopeing they will be under $300.00/box of 500.Of course as you mentioned the current price of copper and lead,anything can happen.Hell,if gas goes up any more,there may be another significant rate hike with all the shippers.That alone can ad significant charges for those 40 pound packages getting delivered by the brown trucks!
