[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 324190, member: 7848"] I've posted a new article to my website titled: [URL="http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/index_files/FULLBOREBulletUpdate.pdf"]2009 FULLBORE Bullet Update[/URL]. This article provides analysis of 8 different 30 cal 155 grain bullets that are commonly (and uncommonly) used in Fullbore competition. The article starts by providing the tested BC's for each bullet, then goes on to analyze the effect of the different BC's on wind deflection and score for 1000 yard (US) prone and F-class targets. Analysis is also provided on MV and performance from service rifles, which will be relevant to those with short barreled bolt rifles as well. Stability requirements for this current crop of FULLBORE bullets is also addressed. Note this article does not address the terminal performance of any of the bullets. The Berger VLD and possibly the Hornady Amax are the only two bullets that would be viable for hunting. I'm sharing this here for those interested in the external ballistic analysis. Enjoy, -Bryan PS, Please let me know (bryan.litz@appliedballisticsLLC.com) if you notice anything 'fishy' about the .pdf. Sometimes the font goes haywire, don't know if it's a browser problem, embedded fonts, etc. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
