Cutting Edge bullets

[SteveOak]

I am looking at using some Cutting Edge MTAC, 90 gr bullets. The claimed BC at .510 seems a bit enthusiastic to say the least. This bullet is not listed on the AB Ballistic Calculator so I looked at other Cutting Edge bullets. They see to be about 10% enthusiastic as far as claimed BC. I'm going to assume that the AB data is accurate. Adjusting the claimed BC by 10% still yields a .469 which is good for a 90 gr bullet.

BC aside, how do Cutting Edge all copper bullets perform with respect to accuracy? Any problems with excessive fouling?

Thanks.

I tried them and went back to Bergers.

Lots of boutique bullet makers show up with high claims for BC and accuracy.

It's tempting to try and jump on the bandwagon early to get some sort of advantage.

But at those prices, I prefer to wait for some confirming evidence. I ran into one of Cutting Edge sponsored shooters at a match recently ... shooting Berger bullets. That was a bit of a clue for me.

To clarify a bit, by 'accuracy' I would be satisfied with 'hunting rifle' accuracy and do not require 'bench rest' rifle accuracy. 1 MOA rather than sub .5 MOA.

Steve,
If I may, claims of certain bullets having certain attributes and producing X results, doesn't guarantee YOUR RIFLE will shoot them as well as they shot in someone else's test rifle. Sure some of those qualities or attributes are inviting. But until you try them, you simply won't know. Personally, if they sound good, I'd try them just to settle my curiosity.
