[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 26062, member: 12"] JLK 6.5 140 has a BC of .630+ at $25/100 Clinch River 6.5 147 is higher yet but testing not competed $28/100 JLK 168 7mm BC of .690 at $26/100 JLK 180 7mm BC of .738 at $28/100 That is not counting Bergers, Carturuccio bullets etc. they are almost as high BC of the LRT bullets at a fraction of the cost and no one has said they could not get them to shoot more than acceptable groups. Some people have had problems getting the LRT bullets to shoot. They brought the new 408 Chey tac gun with LR bullets, last year to Fort Bragg to show the SOF snipers and the best they could get it to shoot was 6" at 200 yards. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the LRT bullet or gun. I do not know all the bugs going on with the LRT bullets, barrel twists etc, but at the cost per round compared to others I cannot see you are getting your $ worth, particularily if your setup does not work with LRT bullets. Doesn't the LRT bullets require twists much faster than normal LR twists, which means if the LRT bullets do not shoot, you have no other bullet to use in that barrel. Just seems to really box you in to one bullet that may or may not work for every gun. I am sure that will be worked out eventually, but right now who knows when or on whose $. BH [/QUOTE]
