Ypu might be overlooking something here. I'm not sure if Sierra makes a 225 gr RN in a 35 caliber,but I use a 220 gr RN in my .06 at about 2500 fps
They perform and expand very well from 15 yds to 300 yds.
Out to 300 yds I don't think the Ballistic Coeffeficent means beans.
Sometimes we over look the obvious when searching for the holy grail
Boy ain't that last line the truth, in so many ways!
I do believe there is a roundnose Sierra. That's an interesting one.
While I am in agreement in general about the BC not mattering, in this case it really does. The BC of the Hornady is SO low, around .260 I believe, that even at a "mere" 300 yards it really moves around a lot more in any kind of breeze, compared to the 225 Partition or Sierra. I forget the BC on the Sierra; the Partition is up above .450 IIRC.
The accuracy of the dang Sierra is intoxicating... I was looking in my shop yesterday and found an old target... 5 of the 225's into .62" center to center at 100 yards. Damn! But I'm hearing enough bad stuff (thanks Teeder) that I just can't go there.
