[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 896921, member: 22069"] From my own examination of the Cutting Edge bullets I have experimented with, the only design features that are exotic involve bore rider, driving band, and seal tite band features that control bearing surface and gas seal characteristics. These seem to allow slightly higher muzzle velocity with a given powder charge (I was getting just shy of 50 fps more vs conventional bullets). The ogive on the Cutting Edge bullets doesn't appear as aggressive as that present on some of the VLD's that I have. Where bc is involved with the Cutting Edge bullets, I have not been able to see that anything exotic has been done. Of course, here again, my knowledge of such things is limited so there may very well be some things I am missing. Where the small market for .375 long range stuff is concerned, it was not so long ago that the same was true of the .338's. I would argue that it was innovation among a very few dedicated shooters and craftsmen that changed that situation. The same can be done for the .375. I agree that a .650 or so bc .375 AMAX would be a good thing. It would definitely be a step up, even if it didn't allow for .338 class performance. At the very least, it would still allow for good practice at extended range. If any bullet maker could be persuaded to make such a bullet in a light and a heavy version, that would be better still.
