High BC Varmint bullets - needed

Yes. Sitting on a pile of them now. Great varmint bullets!...just not good for bucking high winds (the BC is good for weight, but not near what Hornady claims either).
Golly. I was shooting em from 1:9 twist .223 REM bolt gun @ 500 yds early Oct 2021, with good results. If you want to part with some, I'd be glad to have em.

Nope, ill be keeping em. 80% of my shooting is perfectly suited to the 53 and 58vmax (I use a lot of blitzkings too)...so I have that spectrum covered in spades...just not ideal for playing at long range or on those windy days. My last outing, pictured here,, had me shooting in sustained winds of 20+mph...sending me on the "hunt" for high BC setup.

In the end of my research, I'm gonna give the ELD-Match a go. It sounds like they produce devastating results on small critters if the velocity is high enough. I will build up a barrel-burning 22 Creedmoor heavy bench gun to meet this need, hopefully pushing the 80 ELD Match 3,450-3,500. I'm also hoping the Tubb nosering cutter will improve frangibility for Berger Hybrids out of my 6x47L and 25x47L.

...until/unless something better gets released. I'll report back next Spring.

Wow! That's a fun day of doping the wind. It looks like a nice roll down the hill out there and up toward the hill in back.
