[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 219294, member: 10"] GG, How do you figure to compensate for the change in RPMs of the bullets. I have done a bit of testing trying to duplicate long range impacts and it never seems to be consistant with what actually happens at long range even though velocity can be adjusted exactly. Its my theory that the difference in RPM is the difference for this performance. Actual long range impacts seem to expand much more then simulated impacts. I have been going to get a very fast twist barrel to match velocity as well as rpm just to see if my theory is correct. ANyway, look forward to your results. One thing I do not care for with these bullets is the VERY long baring surface. Yes, this can improve accuracy but it also effects velocity potential and in a chambering such as the 338 AM, it can make things a bit finicky with temp changes. Would have liked to see a bit more aggressive ogive and a bit shorter baring surface. But I am not a bullet maker!!! LOL [/QUOTE]
