[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 200530, member: 8843"] Having a bullet with a profile of the 168gr SMK and a 180+gr weight is going to lower the BC and it will not be able to be pushed nearly as fast further increasing its problems. I would like to see a bullet with the profile of a 180gr Berger but only weigh 150-160grs !! this would give you a BC near .700 and the ability to drive it faster and still use a conventional barrel with a 1-9 twist. I think that the only way this would be doable is with a large aluminum or poly tip like the A-max bullets , the poly tip would also enhance the ability for this realy long bullet to expand at lower speeds also a bullet desgine like the barnes Tripple shock that has several bands that engage the rifling would help to cut down on the surface area contact in the barrel "drag". so basicaly a Barnes tripple shock bullet (solid copper alloy) with the same experior profile of the 180gr Berger and a slightly larger polymer or aluminum insert than a 162gr Hornady A-max. I'm thinking that this bullet should weigh around 165grs have a very high BC , be able to withstand the warp speeds that rounds like the Allen mags produce without ripping apart and have little interior barrel drag due to the bands in the bullet shank [/QUOTE]
