[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 983173, member: 4191"] I haven't seen any velocity-based or time-of-flight based BC test results for these bullets posted on this Forum. Michael Eichele hunts, and Alaska hunting seasons are in full swing now. I've chronographed the 265gr .338 HAT aluminum tipped bullets at the muzzle and at 300yds years ago and the BC didn't live up to the values HAT's bullet tester stated he was receiving based on measured drops. This bullet had the same construction features as the W3P bullets. Rebated base boatails with a lead core and aluminum tip. I've chronographed a 190 gr .308 rbbt aluminum-tipped custom bullet made by [B]elkaholic[/B] using Corbin dies at the muzzle and again at 1000 yds. The BC I generated was good, and very close to what Rich told me to expect, but no where near what W3P is currently advertising for their bullet. And [B]elkaholic's[/B] bullet looks identical to those being manufactured by W3P (also manufactured using Corbin bullet dies). I shoot over a triplicate chronograph setup (skyscreens for three separate chronograph units mounted on a single 6 foot long rail), receiving three velocities for each bullet fired, so I have confidence in my measured velocities. W3P has stated that their advertised BCs are mathematically generated using a software program based on the input of bullet dimensions (measurements). IF the advertised BCs for the W3P bullets were being realized by users of those bullets, I would expect W3P would be passing along that supportive product information on this Forum. Nothing... I expect Michael Eichele will post his findings, but he warned us it would take some time due to work and scheduling. [/QUOTE]
