[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 291542, member: 11717"] Jon In the spirit of beating a dead horse a little more... I measured the noses of the 210 Berger (~.82, BC of .631) and the 180 HAT (~.84, reported BC of .7+) According the the GS site, the 177 HV has a nose length of .82 The over shapes of these three bullets "appears" to be very similar with the exception of a larger HP meplat on the 177. Now I have heard form someone who has some, that the HP is not all that large (wish I had some on hand) Sooo, IMHE A BC of ~.6 or more is not far fetched, but I am only a novice layman in this field. Anyway, this all speculative conversation (but it's fun). The proof, or lack of, will be in the shooting. It would be really cool though if it were the magic bullet :) -MR [/QUOTE]
