[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 635686, member: 43153"] The NBT120 is the lightest one available in 7mm, the other 2 available in that caliber are 150, and 175. But if I was to go heavier, for longer range performance and/or bigger game than whitetails, I would go with the A-MAX 162 (BC = .624). By comparison, the 7mm NBT120 BC is claimed to be .417. But the bullet I'd really like to shoot doesn't exist yet, that I know of. It would be a 6mm (maybe 6.5) bullet of the same weight (maybe even lighter), with a very thin peal-off-sabot (thin so as not to compromise accuracy), designed to be shot out of a 7mm bore. Maybe 120gr is a bit optimistic for 6mm (.243), but even a 100gr pointed boattail bullet of that caliber will exceed .430 BC, at high velocities. That would be ideal for stuff like coyotes and chucks, maybe even LRBR. The best 120gr 6.5 bullets come in at just about .5 BC. That, coupled with a sabot that would only be need to be .25mm thick, might make it the best LRBR/varmint bullet, considering how much harder it can be driven, out of a 7mm bore. Could THAT bullet be close to reality, or am I just dreamin? [/QUOTE]
