[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 179476, member: 10"] I am a bit unimpressed by those BC numbers. I was hoping for something at least in the .600 range or slightly higher like we can get in 7mm and these will easily stabilize in a 1-10 barrel for the most part fired from magnum chamberings. If I remember right, the 168 gr Berger VLD has a BC in the low .6 range and it will stabilize in a 1-10 barrel. I am sure a 160 gr 270 bullet would also and also get us the .6 that would really start to make a good long range bullet choice. That said, in some chamberings you could go even heavier and longer. My 270 AM will shoot the 169.5 gr ULD RBBTs very well in a 1-10 twist barrel. Granted they are going over 3300 fps but I was hoping for a bit better BC out of these bullets. Oh well, they are better them most any other commerical bullet out there, just not the advantage I was expecting to see. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
