What bullet/x would you like to see tested?

That's awesome Doc.

AB is my main shooting platform for all 3 of my rifles / cartridges,,, 6.5 A-square,,, 308 Winchester,,, and a Sherman long throated 30/06...

I do a bit of fine tuning on the page to get my Exterior Down Range Ballistics to line up with my boolitz...

Zero in at 100 meters,,, plant 3 shoots at 4 or 600 meters,,, add in the drop calculations,,, then head into the 800 to 1700 meter shots...

Oh Yha,,, Old school paper and AB that I've captured with my phone along with the down loaded chart to range-cards keeps me and the booltiz in the V ring...

Big thanks to you and staff for allowing us the opportunity to perform at our best...

AB has some of the original Blackjack ACE prototypes from 11-12 months ago - I met two AB guys in Q Creek ELR and will be sending current production samples in to test since prototype and production geometry differ a little.

One of the AB guys earned 1st in Open Division running a 338 EnABler and 300 OTMs and 2nd place in Open Division was earned by a 25 SAUM running 131 Blackjack ACE's.

Engagements from 800 yards to 2100+ yards.

A cruise missile earned 1st and a laserbeam 2nd out of 200+ Competitors.

Any 6.5 or .338 bullets in the works?

Next up is a 103-108 grain 6mm - probably out next spring. After that, I'm not sure - depends on what people ask for. I'm looking at a 180-185 grain 7mm, a 130-140 grain 6.5mm, or maybe a heavy (80-90 grain) .224. A .338 is not in the works any time soon. Basically, I'm concentrating on the needs of F class shooters - guys who buy a lot of bullets and need pinpoint precision no matter what they're shooting. A 7mm would be an obvious next step, but there are some challenges there that make it more difficult. All of this is subject to change, obviously.
 
To set modern bullet designs into perspective, I would love to see some historical bullets tested:
round nose: .30 cal 220 gr versus 6 mm Lee Navy (to test for scale effect)
spitzer: .30 cal M2 (or M1906)
boattailed: .30 cal M1 (or M72 or original 7.62 mm M118); .30 cal. AP M2

At least some of those have data available that could be converted to a BC. But I like the idea of trying some old stuff going way back.
