[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 132468, member: 319"] I'll wait for testing to quote a hard number, but I fully expect it to be a significant step up from the 300 grain .338 SMK. It's got a 16% advantage in SD and a form that looks to be as "pointy" or even "pointier." We'll just have to see how they fly.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I will guarantee that comparisons to any other current 30 Cal bullet will be laughable. I should also mention I have some 265 RBBT's. BONDED CORE! Richard left the meplats slightly larger on these with a larger hollow point to ensure expansion at really low velocities. The BC won't be quite as high on these but I'm guessing they're going to give unbelievable terminal performance. If that wasn't enough, Richard now has some shorter jackets to make down to about 250 grains which might work fine in a 1:10 twist. Things are looking very good for big 30 Cals at the moment. [i][b]FINALLY![/b][/i][b][/b] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Finally, we have the bullets available to get the most out of our rounds. [/QUOTE]
