[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2150467, member: 7999"] You are correct. As the caliber gets bigger the Absolutes degrade in bc compared to the Hammer Hunters. In the 30 cal they will even out with the relative Hammer Hunter around the 400-500y mark and the Hammer Hunter will out run in every way. Best we can figure on this is as the dia of the bullet increases the surface area of the shoulder design catches more friction/drag in flight. We are thinking that moving forward into larger caliber bullets in the Absolute line they will be a Shock Hammer design. There is no reason to have a sexy looking bullet that has short range bc. We'll most likely look for the added vel of the Absolute in a dedicated normal range bullet for the bigger calibers. We are working on some custom tooling that will effect the way they shed weight that will combine nicely with the Absolute Shock Hammer design. More testing to come. [/QUOTE]
