It may not affect us muzzleloader shooters but, an interesting read.

Agreed! Excellent reading. I watched a few of the videos and read about half of the articles. Sounds more than promising. I currently don't have any screaming velocity rounds, and the hunting bullets I saw for sale (projectile only) were only usable by me for the 6.5/.264 143 grain for my 6.5 X 55 and the 7mm/.284 162 grain and the 175 grain for my 7 X 57. But, I'm not sure if I'd be able to appreciate their special function since I load those rounds to very moderate velocities.
Cool stuff though, and for somebody pushing the envelope on velocity it make a ton of sense.

That's the kind of information I gravitate towards. One of the commenters stated the Berger bullets still had better BC's. When viewing the Hornady material, that's the first thing I was going to check on. I will keep my eyes on this just to see how things continue to come about. Thanks, BA!
