[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 749516, member: 22069"] The no lead requirement is an angle that makes perfect sense and one that, to be honest, I keep forgetting about. If one is restricted to no lead bullets only, it is always nice to have additional options. In general, I think the CE bullet design is pretty darn interesting, even intriguing. I recently bought some of the 300g .375 CE's to try in my H&H. In that caliber, even if the bc numbers are optomistic, there is still nothing in the same performance class for that case capacity. For me, that easily justifies the cost. If I want to plink, I will use something else. In the .338 diameter, the potential performance offered by the 225g and 250g bullets looks to me to be capable of boosting the performance of the smaller cased .338's considerably. That also has my interest. In the smaller diameters, I might be tempted to use them if I wanted to use a large case/high velocity rifle to take on heavier game than would be attempted with a conventional bullet. A 130g 6.5mm CE doing 3500 fps or so might be pretty interesting. [/QUOTE]
