I guess this is what I'm trying to figure it out. I agree that 7mm bullets of higher SD (i.e. greater weight, such as 160 and 175gr) will have higher BCs than a .270 of lower SD, but I see no trend anywhere that supports that a 7mm of equivalent SD has a higher BC than a .270 bullet of...
WPH,
Similar statements about the 6.5mm and 7mm usually having the highest BC is what got me curious to go looking around. I have seen several articles in the magazines comparing .277 to 7mm making similar statements (i.e. 7mms have higher BCs) and the most common example used is the Nosler...
Nosler Team,
One thing I have been curious about is why your .270 bullets generally have lower BC than bullets of 7mm given same bullet weight or .308 of slightly lower SD. For example, the 7mm 140 Partition and BT have higher BC than the .270 equivalent and the 150 and 180 .30 Cal have higher...
Corn feeder/baiting is a good way to get them, but hogs can be very nocturnal. I had a lease in TX with a ton of hog sign that my lease partners and myself hunted hard during deer season and never saw a pig during day light hours. Another fun way is to still hunt them in the thick stuff...
Always wondered this, so thought I'd ask the bullet makers... Do bullets get old? I have some old bullets of various manufacture (some I would bet over 30 years old) that I picked up at gun shows every now and then, including some noslers and was wondering if bullets age to the point where...
The chrony is the ultimate truth serum. I have some guns that are "slow" compared to expected results and some that are "fast". I wouldn't loose sleep over a 100 fps or so, but understand your desire to get what you expect out of your rifle. I have a .280 remington 700 Mt Rifle w/ 22" barrel...
I've been reloading for about 15 years. Still using my old RCBS RockChucker press. Most of my reloading gear is RCBS, but have been buying more Redding dies recently. Moved from an apartment to a house a couple of years ago, so with more room, my reloading has gotten more "serious" (and more...
Lately I have seen several people talk about a re-design of the Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet to make it tougher. When did this re-design take place and in what calibers? Just curious as I have some older b-tips packaged 100 per box in cals .270, 7mm, and .30 cal. Is this something you can tell...
