We have just about the first of the first of the new lot. We have been shooting them through a 300 weatherby. They really seem to carry in the wind, after getting our 3" high zero @100 yds. We moved out to the 800 yard target, and calculated for the wind and they hit high and right. So we adjusted back the windage to our zero and fired again to see what happens. Perfect inline but at the same height. Our bullet drop chart was gathered using 180 nosler bt. And these new AT bullets are climbing and estimated 18" more or flater however you would like to look at it than the BT. Once adjusted down about 20" we shot 5 with 5 confirmed hits, 3 of the 5 were one gallon milk jugs. Then we went to the 1100 yards and shot at our target which is a decomposed granited rock 24"x28" and after two shots had the clicks down and then fired 5 times with 3 confirmed hits. The winds at the time half way to the target were getting really tough to read. The misses were both just to the left and we had about a 15 mph wind from right to left at mind way. Once this was calculated for we had 3 in a roll hits. I do know that bullet bob said the gun needs to hav a twist of atleast 1-10" Hope this helps, we are going to get some video shortly..
You can google his address it is 130 Hail Columbia Gulch. Butte, MT 59701-9640.
I will get you a way to contact him. So get joined to facebook.
Got an e-mail back from Northwest Custom Projectiles. My question to them was if they were planning on adapting an aluminum tip to their 180g .308, like they have on their .50 cal bullets. Also that there are a lot of folks here that would be interested in high bc projectiles designed for hunting.
The message that I got back stated that they were planning to have a 180g .308 out soon with an aluminum tip, and that it should run about .720bc.
This looks to be a nice projectile that may not come with a bunch of baggage from the drama dept.
Would still like to here from anyone here that has experience with these.
