Does anyone have any info how the following .284 bullets behave at transsonic speeds and below ?
Berger 180 VLD
Berger 180 "Hybrid"
Berger 168 VLD
Sierra 175 Match King
Hornady 162 A-MAX
I have a .284 Win that can send the regular Berger 180 VLD at 2990 fps (58,0 grein N560 does it) but I will proably throttle it down a little. The rifle has a measured 9.2" twist. I would like to reload a round that would continue to fly well even after it´s speed has dropped to subsonic speeds.
For example Lapua .338 250 Scenar is not bothered by going transsonic and then subsonic which I have witnessed many times. If I could duplicate this behaviour in .284 that would be great.
