[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 920205, member: 22335"] I suspect that the grooves in the Barnes bullets don't help the BC one bit, just like similar grooves and bumps don't help the airflow of your car at speed. So, they probably start with a bit of a disadvantage. Also, they probably don't want to exceed a certain length per bullet so that they can still sell each one to be loaded into factory ammo. The LR market is small, and since Barnes is owned by the Freedom group I doubt that they're after any niche markets. Having said that I will hop on board and say that I wish they made a better 257 TTSX. Their current offerings are much smaller than I'd like - a 110 or 115gr bullet would make me very happy. [/QUOTE]
