[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1236712, member: 10429"] The BC for the 212 is higher for that bullet 212. The 220 is not as slick shape and Hornady wanted to make it a little easier to seat for mag length. The 212 is actually longer than the 220 also. Another thing to point out is the 220's have a lot of bearing surface in comparsion to the 212. But the up side...I seated to mag length like 3.65 in my 300Rum. 87grns of RL26 pushes then at 3023 average. For 5 shots I had a ES of 14 and a SD of 6 or 7. These were my first load work up and they shot about .7 inch group at 100yds. Need to take back out to see if it will repeat. Also going to drop the powder like .3 grns to see if the group will make the .5MOA. If it will I'll be satisfied if they are making the .5 and staying above 3000fps. [/QUOTE]
