Hornady A-Tip bullets 250gr 30cal bullet

[VLD Pilot]

The BC's are very nice
6mm 110gr- G1= .604 G7= .304
6.5mm 153gr- G1= .637 G7= .355
.308" 230gr- G1= .823 G7= .414
.308" 250gr- G1= .878 G7= .442

So like you, I'm curious about the .338. It's probably going to be a 325-350gr with a G1 in the .950 range.

I spoke to a Hornady technician last week. He wasn't willing to give me much information. He did say that the bullet would be coming out at the first of the year and that the a b c would be approaching if not over the 1.0 mark. To me that tells me that the bullets going to be around 325 give or take

So my SWAG theory was not far off the mark lol

No but hard to tell really. If a 250/308 caliber bullet can make almost .9, I'd say it's a safe bet that a 300+/338 bullet can easily make upper .9s. If it's a 325 +/- weight bullet, it will be 1.+.

I'd love to see a 7mm. 190 class

 

[VLD Pilot]

I think you will

I would bet something like a 30XC/30XC Imp or similar would do around 3200 with 250's. That's what I'm planning on doing anyway.

We have built a 30/33xc 240 cutting edge lazers @ 3400 the 220 lazers @ 3550

we bought the reamer from manson and necked down the 33xc to 30xc with a 30-378 weatherby resizing die we use 20n29 130 grains for the 240 compressed and 132 grains for the 220 s

What are the specs on your rifle?

added: why don't you start another thread so we don't hijack this one further, I'm sure there are others interested.
