Excellent, will be ordering some to try. What do you think the BC will be?

We will start on a heavier high BC .277 bullets through the winter. Waiting on components to begin. We are open to input. This will be...

^^^ True for load development, but what if you're just trying to get some idea of which brass is thick and which brass is thin so that...
