[QUOTE="moosehunter, post: 67463, member: 528"] I have shot a few of Richards Wildcats in .30cal. Mostly 230gr. in a 300 win mag at 1000yd. I found them extremely consistant in weight and bearing surface, near to the point of it being a waste of time to check them. The other thing I found was that my brass immediatly developed donuts from one time firing and required inside reaming, no big deal problem solved. Richards bullets took my group averages of 12" to 14" down to 9' to 11", (ya, no hell I know). However I dont feel the BC is anywhere near what his tool maker told him they should be. I found that at comparable velocities the 230gr. Wildcat dropped approx. 5 feet more at 1049yds than the Sierra 240gr. Playing with the numbers on the Sierra infinity program I would put the BC on the 230gr. ULD at about .510. Now if Im out in left field and doing something wrong here please point it out because Id love to keep using Richards bullets. [/QUOTE]
