[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2959982, member: 25377"] The BC on these ATIPs across the caliber spectrum is essentially best in class. That's what made me want to see how they do from an accuracy/precision/terminal standpoint. I shoot thousands of rounds a year (often tens of thousands) on targets, varmints, and predators, so I can attest that they are quite good from an accuracy/precision standpoint. However I only shoot a small handful of big game each year. Probably fewer than 10... so it will take me a long time to have something quantifiable on that. Accuracy and precision however... they are 100% good to go. I can't say that about all of the ELD-M's and I CERTAINLY can't say that about the ELD-X's. I haven't tested every ATIP yet... just the cals I mentioned above. Since berger sold out to nammo... I'm happy about buying American bullets that shoot small with very high BC (sometimes the highest) that perform well. I've been playing with the hornady solids too... and unlike my experience with virtually every other boutique solid bullet manufacturer... theirs seem to [B]actually shoot small on a regular basis.[/B] Can't say for sure yet though, as I've only run them in one cartridge in one cal. I'm pretty proud of Hornady as of late. I feel like their reloading equipment is some of the worst garbage I've ever used in my life... but their cartridges and bullets are really standing tall lately. It's nice to see. I'd really like to not have to wash these ATIPs myself though. I am really hating that part of them. When you shoot thousands... wrenching these stupid things out of their crazy packaging and having to wash every box of bullets in their stupid little baggie is really grinding on me.
