[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 694016, member: 505"] That is about the biggest crock of BS I have ever heard. I have a few hundred rounds through several rifles. Just this weekend I checked the bores on several of my rifles as I do each year. They are pristine. The past two weeks I have burned up several pounds of powder with these bullets. These are also the most accurate bullets I have ever shot. Here are a few groups from last week with the C21 180 grain Cutting Edge. 1.7" at 700 yards, 4.2" at 950 yards. 8.8" at 1100 yards. These are out of three different rifles. For guys wanting a firm BC the C21 180 grain is between .61 and .62 in the three rifles I have been shooting it in. The 200 grain CE while testing in the Mcmillan Outdoorsman test rifle hit in the .64's out to 1100 yards while getting ready for the caribou hunt. I pushed the 180 grain to 3520 fps out of a 300 RUM 28" barrel but settled on an accuracy load of 3460 fps with 86.1 grains Retumbo. My 300 winchester hit an accuracy load with 85.5 grains magpro at 3330 fps. The ability of these bullets to get 75-100 fps more velocity in my rifles than the lead core is a major boost. A .615 bc at 3460 fps out of a 300 RUM or over 3300 fps out of a 300 winchester is way fun to shoot. I think you will have fun shooting the 225's. Let me know which cartridge you are shooting and I will get you some starting loads. I have shot the 225's in most popular 338's. Best group was a 4.63" at 1000 yards out of my 338-300 RUM. [/QUOTE]
