[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 279740, member: 11717"] I get the impression that qqqq33 knows of the existing ones, but wonders why they dont make a longer one. qqqq33, the biggest challenge with that is the ones alredy out there are about as long as they can make them without stability issues. I specifically asked both Nosler and Barnes about this and that is the answer I got. GS advertises a 30 cal 177 gr bullet with a BC of .638, which is quite high. On top of that, their design gets them about 100-200 fps faster than other bullets of the same size. The BC part is questionable though. Still if you can shoot one of those @ 3500-3600 fps out of a 300 RUM with a BC of .6, it will out run anything out there for a long way down range. There is another member on the forum that will be trying them soon, and I hope to give them a go too if the BC is close to advertised. So far, very little known performance with these particular bullets. [/QUOTE]
