[QUOTE="NEMTHunter, post: 1553966, member: 77631"] As long as they keep the bearing surface short that will help with the speed end of things a little and help keep more of the bullet out of the case. That to can be over come with a longer throat. They are saying .800 BC and better. There currant 230 is .717 So it would be a step up for sure. But the loss of speed could offset it. And now cutting edge is testing a 240 grain Lazer max in .308. We will see how that one works. If I can shoot the new 245 (when and if it gets here) @3300 FPS I will be a happy guy. Long range hammer. Also would give a guy a taste of ELR shooting without jumping up to the "BIG" guns. Thats super sonic to 2600 Yards. Even @ 3250 it still super sonic to 2600 yards. Same load for hunting could be used to play around with ELR shooting. If the bullet transision good you could try for 2 miles for the fun of it with your hunting load. It would only be doing about 900 fps @ 3520 yards.. LOL that slow! [/QUOTE]
