[QUOTE="JD284win, post: 2613203, member: 110785"] Yes they do. They also use a denser alloy than other copper bullets. One reason they are so expensive. Word is they use a copper bronze alloy. They have a high sectional density. I'm sure they don't want to reveal that publicly so other company's don't catch on. I also don't feel their drive band design is very practical to most reloaders. Just my 2 cents. From some other testing I've seen. They are slightly inflated as well. If I gotta spend $60+ for a box of bullets. I want something that is practical to load and accurate. Cutting Edge has even said they don't have the equipment at the moment to produce the numbers as accurate as say Berger and Hornady. If you want accurate BC numbers without testing real world drops. Then subscribe to Litz's publication. They are dead accurate. My real world test I've done are with in 6% of Litz's information. That percentage will very rifle to rifle. I never said I had a problem. Just info I got from real world drops. At a minimum BC should very verified at 800 yards and beyond to get them perfect. [/QUOTE]
