    Waiting to see if replacement for LRABS, apparently better terminal performance and accuracy (although my LRABs are sub 0.5 MOA).

    Any prices yet?
    Everything techo I have read on them seems good.
    The retention of velocity over the Amax at LR is interesting.
    I wonder if ballistic software has to be re written around these projectiles.

    ...and unlike LRABS realistic BCs listed: 6.5mm 143gn Ballistic Coefficient (G1) .625...although interestingly the 162gn Amax in 7mm is higher (.625) than the new 162gn equivalent (.613BC).

    It will be interesting to see what Mr Litz has to say about the advertised BCs, hopefully they will be closer than the LRABs.......

    If would appear Mr Hornady use Doppler Radar to do their calculations and if it was used correctly then their BCs may well be close or not (depending on how much "bullshit factor" was applied by marketing dept)

    These are looking like a great step up to whats allready on the market. Hopefully they perform as well on game as paper.
