[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 476595, member: 11717"] Interesting Michael, I talked to Anthony from GS here in the states the week before last and he told me to make the order online. I ordered 4 boxes (200) 177's and got an email back the next day confirming the order. I'm expecting them in about 5 weeks. On the BC of the 177... it's listed ad .638 @ 3300 fps. It's about .012 longer than the 210 Berger which Brian listed @ .631. I'm not sure what velocity range this is for, but I seriously doubt it's for 3300 fps. I'm guessing less than 3000. The Berger has a greater SD, but the GS is longer with a little better form factor. Just off the top of my head, I think the GS listed BC is probably fairly close... likely .6ish One of our members shot some a while back and his drops suggested the BC was correct. One set of drops isn't conclusive, but when all is considerd, I think it's probably pretty close. ...And definitely better than any Barnes bullets. Did you try ordering online? -Mark [/QUOTE]
