My figures in my 264 WM came out to around .620. Last edited by Bbear; 02/09/18. Support your local Friends of NRA - supporting Youth Shooting Sports for more than 20 years.

The last sentence of the press release recommends using the G7 value for calculating trajectories.

The 7mm 150 is now showing .546 or pretty much the same as the Hornady ELD-X I think. Last edited by country_20boy; 02/08/18.

Will report back once loads have been developed. What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

From the numbers it looks like the "independent" testing was done by Bryan Litz. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Litz often lists BC's for two different rifling twists, and with faster, less common twists there's more of a difference. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

His friendly attitude changed rather abruptly. Gives me a good chuckle to see them change it. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
