I can't imagine how flat the trajectory would be. When you combine BC and very high velocities the two are complementary, if you shoot at high altitude the effective range can be really amazing, something I'm sure you know. Which BD-2 have you used? The 160 gr 284? I'll plug it in to see what you are talking aboutYeah, I sure get all that. I'm not saying there's something wrong with your projos. I'm working them outside their design parameters and funny stuff happens - that's the only point I'm making. It's the same reason I'm not running C&C in that cannon though I wouldn't be too scared of its 195 EOL load at 3,300 for the longer ranges either. Just never took game with that combo yet. I like the lightning speed and incredible trajectory I was getting with the BD-2 at 3,670 fps.Punch it in your calculator and be amazed.

I feel like BC is all anyone talks about these days.

Its talked about a lot but still under appreciated because it cannot be measured as readily as speed.

Have you looked at making an ultra high bc 284 bullet?.. that doesn't require a barrel twist faster than 7. I think your current 160gr is like .690, everything around it(27, 30, 33) gets a bit or a lot higher.
I'm trying some of the .375 SB2, 275 grain, in a 375 RUM, without much luck…
Is there a certain bullet jump the SB2's like?

Bulldozer Reloading - Badlands precision, LLC
The combination of BC, reliable, expansion and extreme penetration make the Bulldozer 2 bullet line of hunting bullets the most effective hunting bullet in each caliber and weight category available. We get many questions about how to reload these bullets safely. This article addresses many of...

Maybe this will help
What powder are you running and have you tried different powders?

The .277 is a bit higher, but as you get up in caliber the ultimate BC potential increases. We make a .510 850 gr bullet with a G7 BC = 0.620, but it s useless as a hunting bullet since it is nonexpanding. The larger caliber allows for more weight in a shorter bullet and greater centrifugal force to stabilize the bullet. We could increase the G1BC of the 160 a bit by increasing the weight by making the bullet longer, but that gain in BC would be minimal, and the BC difference not really that noticeable to the shooter.
Only H4350 and Reloder 16 so far

Well I just got my order in for SBDII 100gr .243 for my new 6mm creedmoor. Man are they Perdy. Cant wait to start loading these beauties.
Does anyone here shoot the .243 100 grainers and how was your performance on game and range?

Anxious to see what you get in velocity and accuracy with that sleek projo in the 243. It should be a puncher for sure if you have the 7 twist.

Yup 1in7.
H4350 should work well but I really think 6.5 StaBall will be your friend here with that 100 SBD2. Try to get some quality SRP brass. Good luck and let us know how it works for you!
