Hi there, the estimated BC on the my 30 cal bullets is -
125grFB/HP=.330
165grHP/BT low drag=.470
190grHP/BT low drag=.550

The die makers estimates are quite a bit higher than these but I think they were being a bit ambitious which is often the way with BC's. I am more interested in top accuracy than the highest achievable BC's as the two don't always go together.
Still working on the 165gr but they are looking good & as soon as I get time I will be selling them as well. Have been waiting for feedback from a few hunters & target shooters which has all been good so far.
Cheers, Bryn.

Meant to say I don't have any bullets listed on Trademe right now. Will be again in a week or so as I am off to the NZDA Pacific Rim competition next week & don't want to be sorting bullet orders etc out just before that.
Cheers.

targex in 80 or 85 gr?

Cheers.

Ok cool just orderd the 80gr LD i hope.

with the 190gr 30 cal pills do they stabalise in a 1:13 twist? will be going quite quick...3200-3300? (300RUM)

Hi leathel, think you may be pushing it with a 13"twist Would need an absolute minimum of a 1 in 12" & that may not even do it if they aren't going fast enough. Will be offering 165gr as soon as I get time if that is any help.
Cheers.

Do you do 270?

Hi, no sorry just .224,.243 & 30cal.

Hi targex, do you offer samples? Id be real keen on the 165s when theyre available

Hi, yes no problem to do a sample pack when I have them ready for sale.
Cheers, Bryn.

My girls gun loves them,need some more. Incoming email

So i got to test my 80gr targex projectile on thursady 120yd neckshot on a 30kg yearling hind and got some pics of the projectile i recoverd on the skin of its shoulder. And from the pics and close inspection it let 3 more bits of shrapnel go into the rib area aswell im no expurt and havnt weighd the projectile but its good retention and dropped her on the spot So im happy with these projectiles.
