[QUOTE="parshal, post: 1091550, member: 605"] I've got 150's and 142's I intended to use in my 264 win mag. I'm doing a new 264 build so I don't want to burn them all in my current rifle. I'll do a little testing in a couple weeks for velocity comparisons, though. Some quick calculations (using Bryan's test data) show the BC of the 150's to 93% of the 160's. Using that, I figure the 142's to be 94-95% of the 150's which makes the G7 about .293 (quite a bit lower than the Hybrid at .317). Obviously, it's fuzzy math but it might be OK for looking at performance on paper before shooting them. Anybody else got a better guess/test results? I've got a couple elk tags this fall where I intend shoot either the 142's, 150's or 142 ABLR's in the new build. I can't find data on the real 142 ABLR BC so, at the moment, I can't get a good comparison of performance to 700 yards. For those that have tested both the 142's and 150's, what's been the average velocity difference between the two? From working this out on JBM, the 150's need to be within 50 fps of the 142's to make them look better. Any performance difference between the two jackets on game? I'm pretty sure the 142's use the same jacket as the 160's. [/QUOTE]
