[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2365680, member: 110890"] Hammer lists it as .313 G7, but that is estimated I see. Not sure about the .237 you came up with, but their 169 HH has come out better than that for me. Anyway, your point about the purpose of the build is valid. My point is to find a projo that will hold up to the velocity a little better. I'm really liking the BD-2 overall. I think the tip, while a great expansion initiator at the low-end velocities, is a little too much for the level where this cartridge runs. I may be better off running the 195 EOL load at 3,300, but might play with the mono's some more. Any chance my experience had something to do with copper quality issues you've had? (Lot #030221-1) I'd still like to try them past 600 yd and see if the terminal results are more controlled. And just to clarify - my thoughts on going heavier/slower were not given in the context of lower velocities as a result of lower BC. The options I gave to try were all listed higher BC than the Badlands, precisely because they were heavier... As to whether their claimed BC's hold out...that's another story. Maybe I'm missing something? [/QUOTE]
