[QUOTE="bailey1474, post: 117545, member: 3249"] I know. It seems strange to me as well. A year or so ago, Richard sent me some 210 gr bullets that had a straight taper nose profile on them. Those things shot lights out but the BC on them was pretty low. I then got some of his ULD RBBT 210s and could not get them to do much better than 1 MOA. Same w/the 208 gr AMax. Seems maybe that length of bullet just doesn't agree w/this bbl. It shoots the 240 SMK @ about .25 MOA out to 500 yds or so. That is as far as I've tested it. I shot @ that steel plate Lerch posted pics of 2 times @ 650 yds and they were about 1" apart. I was shooting it @ 2850 fps w/Retumbo but it looks like US869 is going to give me 3075-3100 fps w/the same .25 MOA accuracy. [/QUOTE]
