[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 390725, member: 2736"] In my quest for a good performing Long range Hunting bullet I was lucky to get some of these bullets from Rich (elkaholic) and do some testing. My results were as follows. Test was made using .308 dia. 200gr , fired @ 3355 ft/sec in a long barreled 30/378 loaded to hot to post but SDs were 11 ft/sec. Conditions were = 18 feet elevation,89o F, 94% humidity,wind gust up to 18 mph .With some mirage at times. Ranges were 100 to 600 (IN reverse order) on the same target holding the same point of aim. Drop @ 100 =0, 200=1.9, 300=7.6, 400=17.5, 500=32.0, 600=52.2 for a G1 BC of .637 and a G7 BC of .308. The air is very thick down hear and all of the bullets I have tested have been considerably lower than advertised BCs. These bullets should do well at 8 to 10,000 feet where Elk Live. These were not bonded bullets so I didn't do any expansion test Just trajectory, The 5 shot group using this load was .192 @ 100 yards (Not bad for a unknown bullet and an untried load with this bullet. and the 3 shot group @ 600 yards was 3.9". So I think we have a winner. These are great looking bullets and it almost seemed a shame to shoot them. Thanks elkaholic for the bullets and a chance to test them. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
