[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1208254, member: 2011"] I'm thinking the prototype bullet is totally designed for maximum bc. From the tip to base it will have been run thru models to determine what appears to be best. It is much much easier to develope machined shapes as making dies is long and pains taking. With a little programing modifications can be made fairly rapidly. However it is still quite expensive to equip to do it. It will be difficult to develop a hunting bullet with such a high bc but Berger is using a very effective process to develop this offering. The KO2M results will be exciting to say the least. They mentioned the 375 CT will be used in the competition. Which I think is going in just a little under gunned. Also mentioned was a new 375 cal cartridge on the design table. I've been experimenting with a 395 grain hunting offering, G7 bc ~ 0.460, that the MagnetoSpeed 3 says is loafing along at 3118-3128 ahead of 147.6 gr of RL-50. There is room for more velocity but limitations are the 30" barrel and the desire to get more case life. [/QUOTE]
