[QUOTE="300spanker, post: 500731, member: 12221"] Shooting 28 inch shilens with 1in9 twists, originally built for 240 matchking, but when i had one not open on a buck at 650 yards without expanding i started looking elsewhere. when i saw the GS posting by LTLR back in nov. i looked into the 177 because i have the right twist. i know i can push the bullet at 3600 with my H1000 load, i just have to be patient until i get my gun back. i am also adding a wyatt extended box, however, i still won't beable to fit in magazine box. my calculations show my OAL will be 3.93 which will have two drive bands covered in neck with touching lands. we shot 6 great bucks with the JLK 210 long boattail version in colorado this year BC of .680, this bullet performs great. i will be shooting coyotes and dead cows (cattle) out here on a ranch in may, so i should have some real life performance on game soon. i am also going to test the Henson aluminum tip 210. maybe nosler could combine a ballistic tip, with a partition backend and boattail. you mention 177 has bc of .62, i thought it is .64, should i try 4831SC for the 177, which is a little faster than the H1000??? spanker [/QUOTE]
