[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 799898, member: 11717"] I have already said that it's a step in the right direction. That said their BC's are kool-aid. They are intentionally inflated in order to win a share of the market and sell bullets. It doesn't take a ballisitician to see that these bullets are no better than existing offerings which they claim to be. When you have info such as the bullets length that is a big clue as to it's form factor and you can easily make relative comparisons to bullets which have been tested by credible sources. I.e., there is no way that the 210 LR AB which is 1.55" long is going to have a greater BC than the 215 Hybrid which is 1.564" long with a BC of .696. It's actual BC is going to b a lot closer to existing 210 gr bullets and advertising that would not sell as many bullets. Likewise, there is no way that the shorter (by .007) 130 LR AB is going to have a greater BC than the 130 Sirocco. They are going to be very close to the same. I find it hard to believe that a company like Nosler doesn't have the resources to conduct valid BC testing or at least have it contracted out. And if they don't, they shouldn't be just making it up. The kool-aid is the folks who believe it in spite of the FACTs. Are they a better LR offering than the old AB's? Most certainly, but they aren't anything better than what's available by some other companies which is what they are advertising. [/QUOTE]
