[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 499013, member: 2011"] Shorty, There isn't much need for a new 30 cal bullet as there are plenty of selections available for every use. My motivation is the lack of 270 cal offerings. Many manufacturers are introducing new bullets on a regular basis. However, they skip from 6.5 to 7mm, right over the 270 cal. I figure there are plenty of 270 shooters that would like a much higher bc that what is offered in a 160 class bullet. The 160 grain range is about right for the WSM and a bit heavy for the Winchester cartridge. However, the same process can be used for the 130 and 140 grain offerings bringing them both to a much more respectable BC and about 10 more grains of weight. Plus to me, a higher bc 160 grain offering that will handle the riggers of my 270 AM and it's extreme velocities is the great benefit. Push the 160 w/a .6+ bc @ 3500 to 3600 FPS and see what time is taken off flight time at 1500 yards. Its worth the labor! [/QUOTE]
