[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 467375, member: 13833"] This is EXACTLY why I started making my own! In the first place, making a super long range HUNTING bullet without a ballistic tip makes no sense. My 190's have a B.C. of .616 so I can start them a lot faster than the heavier bullets and because of the higher B.C., they have enough residual velocity at extended ranges to properly expand the bullet (which is a big problem with the high b.c. bullets presently being used). I can make the same bullet up to 260 grains with a B.C. that is off the charts but you would need an 8 twist and a huge case to get adequate velocity for long range expansion. Say a 30-378 8 twist. If someone wants to build one, I will supply the test bullets:D....Rich [/QUOTE]
