I think the Hornady has better aerodynamics just by looking at them.

the hornady has a .720 advertised b.c but in my experience hornady's bullets b.c's are a little lower than adverised. the Barnes has a .667 b.c but in my experience Barnes bullets have a little higher b.c than advertised. so i think the barnes is in the .675-.690 while the hornady probably have a b.c in the .700-.710 range

Good eye!! They just did a very extensive test of .338 projectiles over on SH. The 285 Hornaday was a top performer as well as the 300 Bergers.

I was pretty surprised that the CE bullets didnt fair so well after reading some reports on them here.

What are those for, lever actions, sling shots? . Barnes is three miles away, maybe some day it'll be worth the drive. Looks like they're moving in the right direction...........818
