[QUOTE="H59, post: 1882761, member: 105268"] And the initial testing with the 375gr badlands bullets went how? Did you find the slightly heavier bullets didn't give you the performance you wanted? A few of The heavier 400 plus grain bullets offer quite a bit better b.c.- .500 g7 b.c. is phenomenal performance from a bullet but Litz is adamant that those bullets simply won't transfer through transonic velocities with any control and probably would be lucky if it came out pointing forwards. Longer bullets just cannot keep there stability when transferring into transonic, therefore it's possibly better to select a bullet that is not a long & pointed with a super high b.c if you will be shooting out into those ranges but instead select a shorter more of a true G1 shaped bullet that when spun down a faster twist bbl will have much better chance of being flying point forward after entering transonic flight and then into subsonic. So a tradeoff b/n a super high b.c and a more stable lower b.c. bullet should be considered in those situations. And for myself shooting at sea level altitude this is certainly something of concern beyond 2300-2400yrds. [/QUOTE]
