[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 531143, member: 13632"] Gils, the Matrix bullets seem to have an actual BC of .650 ish for the 165 from shooting but the 175 sounds like it's .700+. Kirby builds the 270 AM but I don't know how the Matrix has held up to it, I think they were built with a 3 groove 1-8 twist which seems to be extremely aggressive on the bullet and tends to shred them. I shoot the 165 just fine in a 1-10 twist WSM and Win and others have shot the 175 in a 1-10 as well so if you were to RUM it I would look at maybe 1-10 twist and try to be as nice to the bullet as possible. We should have the 169.5 Wildcat bullets soon I hope which I've seen guys say has a BC over .700 as well!! What ever you build it looks like it will be a screamer :D [/QUOTE]
