[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1131822, member: 12193"] I did notice the difference in shape between the 212 and 220 grain bullets but I couldn't figure out why they would do that. Thanks for the explanation, Bullseye, it all makes sense now! Looking at the "Match" offerings it looks like they've just taken the A-max bullet and put on the new tip. WildRose, thanks for the info and hopefully we do see some additional calibers becoming available in the future. .270 is a hard one for manufacturers of long range bullets because of all the 10 twist barrels out there. I think a 140 grain bullet with a BC around .540-.550 would be very achievable and would work great in the 10-twists. Even a 150 grain with similar BC would probably stabilize well enough. In 338 caliber the 285 grain is such a nice weight, hopefully they'll come out with the controlled expansion version. Yes, I think I'll have to try these bullets since I've had good luck with the A-max so far. [/QUOTE]
