[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1086696, member: 2460"] I developed two wildcats in my process to convince CEB to create these bullets , of course I wanted the heavy bullet first but understood the valid argument and facts that another member here presented during our 375 cal bullet debates ! the 225 gr MTH came first and was the logical choice due to the obvious need for performance enhancement in factory rifles chambered in 8mm Rem Mag and 325 WSM .... I was concerned that Cutting Edge might not be swayed to do a heavier higher bc bullet but Dan was on board immediately and wasted no time in getting his bullet engineers to answer my call and the bullet design is exactly as I had envisioned .... Cutting Edge has sent me the first 100 pcs of the 225 gr MTH bullets to establish a known bc for it but their speed in producing the bullets caught me unprepared as I have yet to receive the headspace gauge for the wildcat cartridge 8mm Long Range Hunter I tweaked of the 338 and 300 Norma Mag case ..... Same thing just happened with the 256 gr bullets, CEB is in fast track to spin me the first 500 pcs and I'll have the bullets well before my 8mm Vampyre reamer/gauge and 9 twist barrel show up ! All the other bullet manufacturers I contacted about developing new high bc 8mm bullets declined or did not respond ..... Although I must give Berger Bullets thumbs up for having an interest , Mr. Eric Stecker responded personally to my inquiry and assured me they have full intention of developing a Berger 8mm bullet in the near future ! These current events have convinced me that I must put a full stop on purchasing bullets from other manufacturers and concentrate on building up my inventory of CEB bullets and proceed with load developement for all my wildcats ......
