[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1515503, member: 7999"] We have played a bit with the 27 caliber ogive. Looks great. I think the bc problem is a result of the size of the meplat. You can only get so much from the form of the bullet. .425 g7 bc from a 200g bullet is frankly incredible. This would require a form factor of .7. For comparison sake the highest bc bullets that Berger offers have a form factor of ~.9. The smaller the form factor number the better the bc will be. Most decent bc hunting bullets have a form factor ~1.0. Some things sound too good to be true... Without seeing some drastic change in bullet design that has never been done before it does not seem possible. The size of the meplat can cost about 10% of the bc of the given bullet. If those bullets indeed have a bc that high, great. We are working on a pure target bullet and will chase bc as hard as we can with them. Steve [/QUOTE]
