Who makes the highest BC 175g 30cal. bullets not including Warner Flatlines ? as the rounds may be used for hunting if applicable.
Thanks
Thanks
On paper, Nosler.
That's funny right there ?
The Hornady 178eldm would be a good choice and it's actually Doppler verified not pretend like nosler.
Funny, my RDF BC that Im using to get my data to line up is higher than advertised...
Also, neither of these options, eldM or rdf are optimal for hunting.
The eldX would be better suited but Ive heard plenty of reports about it not performing as desired as well.
Bergers are the place I would go if top BC is the only requirement for the hunting bullet. I factor in price though so I would probably lean towards the lighter sierra gamechanger or a nosler accubond blem or something like the solid barns bullets might be a good choice though not quite as dirt cheap or expensive as the others.
Concur on the ELDX comment. I was not impressed at all by their performance (hence my comment about Barnes TSX or LRX). I've never had a Barnes hunting bullet not perform as advertised...

I could only assume he was referring to the Accubond Long range.
Never had any failures with the 178amax on some pretty good size hogs and isn't the 178eldm the same AMP jackets and profile just with a different material used for the tips.
It could just be a difference of calibers. The ELDX in 6.5 just sucked ass for consistent performance (one round would pencil through, the next would grenade) in my experience (270'ish yard shots). I'd expect the .308 to perform better (bigger hunk of lead), but my experiences just put me off of them. Even small 6mm TSX's (85gr's) always opened up to perfect little flowers every time I used them (or had my younger brother use them). I was always amazed at their consistency, and how wide they expanded, all while retaining most of their mass.
Maybe I just got unlucky(?), but there's enough other people saying the same thing to make me steer clear of them (personally).

LR Accubonds or regular Accubonds? I haven't seen that with the regular Accubonds, the LR Accubonds have a reputation for that though....always had a lot of fragmentation and excessive meat damage with Nosler accubonds.
Sounds good to me.Next time I'm up your way, we'll need to break out a bottle of bourbon and discuss this a bit more in detail. Interesting results to say the least...
