[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2363937, member: 8873"] Northkill: After my experience with the bigger .375, I would want heavy for caliber in a lesser caliber. Unless your thing is really rapid expansion (or fragmentation). VLD Pilot: The A-Tips are built more for increased BC, and so far it has proven to be substantially more. Below is a picture of a 375 grain Chinchaga (L) and a 390 A-Tip (R). Snox801: It was probably swamplord that you had read about with the moose and Chinchagas. I have tried CE & Hammer, but the CE are really expensive and the Hammers (tried several versions, not cheap either) shot great up until about 1200 yards and then I couldn’t get them to stay consistent. This was with 10” & 8” twist barrels. Hammer bullets are one of my favorite hunting bullets, just didn’t do what I wanted in this rifle. As you know the 400 grain CE will have a much better BC than the 435 Chinchaga, probably more of match BC wise with the 350 CE Lazers. I had been waiting for the 390 grain A-Tips to come out for the past year and a half. Hoping they will prove to be a reliable ELR target and a really long range hunting projectile. So far only shot them out to 1500 with ok results. I need to do some tweaking on the load as it was more of an ES/SD thing and not the bullet, it’ll do under 1/2 moa at close range.
