[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 1208546, member: 7848"] Steve, We have shot a small number of these bullets and the results are very promising so far. G1 BC over 1.0, and G7 around .510. I'm getting just shy of 2900 in the CheyTac case, 33" barrel. They appear to be grouping well but IMO it's too early to tell. We've got a lot of shooting planned for this week and will learn more as we go. On the 'new wildcat' comment: I didn't mean to imply the wildcat was new to the world. It's new to me which means I made a poor choice of words. I meant no disrespect to anyone who may have done this before. As the announcement states, this Berger bullet is totally experimental and may never be made public. But for the sake of discussion, a 1:8" twist makes a stability factor of around 2.0 which is advisable for ELR shooting, and the minimum twist to shoot the bullet would be around 1:9". I heard that Bartlein may be running a batch of .375 barrels soon... -Bryan [/QUOTE]
