[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1218701, member: 96764"] Yes, but as I have already shown with the 7mm example, many of the GMX are indeed already very adequate, (if not specifically designed to achieve absolute maximum), long range bullets. The 180 gr GMX 30 cal is another excellent example. Yeah, the new tip is not going to make it a 1600 yard bullet. But if it increases the accuracy, and BC between 300 and 600 yards; What is not to like? The logic of only using on the very longest just doesn't hold. If we were only interested in the absolute very longest range shot possible; We would only be shooting 416 Barret and above. Everything else is merely incremental, evolutionary improvements. Either it works, or it doesn't. Yeah, on some bullets and some calibers the difference in overall performance might be undetectable ( lost within the noise of normal distribution of variation of more dominate factors) ...but in many cases(the examples I cited) the benefits should be as great as for the current ELD line.
