[QUOTE="cronhelm, post: 20886, member: 98"] Warren, Wasn't there some research into using very dense (denser than lead) materials for bullet construction in order to get very high BC values from otherwise conventional bullet designs? Using a very dense material, the bullet weight could be maintained while the size and thus surface area (read drag) of the bullet could be reduced. I'd be very happy with a 90-95 grain 6mm bullet with a BC of .8 or more. THAT would be a LOOOOOONG-range projectile. Similarily a 200 grain .338 bullet with a BC approaching 1.0 would be an awesome long-range hunting projectile. Peter Cronhelm [/QUOTE]
