Corbin makes a variety of dies. I have 8s, .014" offset secant, and a new secant hybrid. I can run ballistic tips in any of them with the right point forming die and punch........Rich

I agree. Michael is providing this testing as a free public service to all the interested parties here. I think he'll get it done. I'm eager to see his results, but it would be unreasonable to rush him.

All,
I know everybody has been eagerly awaiting some results from me regarding the 155s. At the time I offered, it looked like I had more time on the horizon. Not long after, my then ill father took a dramatic turn for the worse. I spent much of my 'free' time visiting him and my mom until he passed a few weeks ago. Between family and work time has been tight. I haven't been to the range for several months and haven't even been able to make it out hunting yet and doesn't look like I will be able to make sheep season this year which sucks. I've hunted them every year since 1999.
I still intend on getting this project complete and I apologize for it ending up on the back burner so to speak.

Michael......I am sorry for the difficult times you are going through! There are a lot of things in life that are far more important than bullet tests. There is absolutely no rush, as far as I am concerned! I think most of us know what the outcome will be anyway. It is more a matter of just what is the correct b.c. I will pray for you and your family in regard to your loss.........Rich

My condolences Michael.
Michael,
Very sorry to learn of the passing of your father. Much more important to tend to those personal family matters, even if it means some lost sheep hunting opportunity. Glad you were able to spend some parting time with your Dad.
No apologies required about any planned bullet BC testing. That's a trivial matter in comparison to a hunting season, let alone the death of a parent. My sincere sympathies during your time of loss...

Michael, I'm just curious but I was wondering if you had gotten a chance to finally test these W3PS bullets? I'm looking at buying some but wanted to know the "rest of the story" so to speak. Thanks man.

Seems that nobody wants to actually find out.
Nobody wants to spend their money and waste barrel life to confirm the obvious.

Personally I have not been able to get them to shoot well enough to verify BC, I shot 200gr steel tips in my 308, bullets should be nearly identical to the 215 Bergers I normally shoot, 215's group under 3in at 1000 yards and the W3P's would not shoot under 1.5 in at 100 yards. I've got some aluminum tip 200's but it's hard to get into it after such a poor start.

None of this comes as a surprise to me based on their performance in the infamous thread. I feel bad for the guys who took the chance though! It is too bad, because the design is good if the right people were doing it and were willing to listen and learn! Does anyone know if these guys are even around?..........Rich
