What bullet/x would you like to see tested?

I am looking for input to see what the community would be interested in seeing tested? We are looking to expand our currently library beyond 1000 bullets. You can see our current complete library here: http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/Downloads/ABLibrary.pdf.

You can either post your requests here, or you can email them to me at doc.beech@appliedballisticsllc.com.
 
I currently own "Ballistic Performance of Rifle Bullets", 2nd Ed. Obviously there are a number of bullets whose files are not in that edition, as a 3rd Edition has been printed. The only question I really have is how can I get access to the data Applied Ballistics has compiled on all these bullets. Buying the 3rd Edition is certainly one approach, but the information in it will likely not be up to date in a very short time, either. Is there another more timely way to access the data in your bullet files that is updated on a regular basis?

I'd really like to see the new Hammer bullets tested. I'm very curious about long range performance and of course the end result of penetration and how the bullets conform during penetration. THese are hunting bullets and the end product is critical, do they mushroom properly, do they fragment or retain its basic form and mushroom. There are a lot of questions regarding the bullets overall performance. There are a lot of hunters that would appreciate answers to these questions.
 
I would also like to see data for the new high BC Sierra Match King Bullets.

I've been specifically working with the new Sierra 30 cal 230gr bullet (claimed G1 BC of .800) and the 30 cal 200gr (.701 G1 BC)
I would love to see more official Ballistic test data for them with G7 BC's and bullet form factors.
 
Is the raw cd vs mach data published anywhere? I'd like to see that in book/electronic form (preferably both). I'd pay for it, especially if it contained information on Cd variability.
 
The 25 caliber Blackjack bullets would be a good candidate to try out.

Badlands Precision 338 caliber bullets would also interest me.
