Look I am just jacking you around a little about the doorstop comment no need to get your undies in abundle. As you mention in post #73 "coated bullets" "do allow more velocity than uncoated bullets" so you acknowledged that as a fact. If you were at all genuine in your thinking would not you then expect the coated XLC bullets from the Barnes manual to exceed the others???????? In the Barnes manual the XLC can load 3 grains more powder and provide 100-150 FPS more velocity than uncoated this seems to be right in line with your manuals. Correct????? Now that the manual issue is addressed.
In post #39 I mentioned I did in fact mention the velocity from the Barnes manual 3091 FPS with 165 or 168 grain bullets and the fact that it had 60 ft/lbs more energy than the 160 Grain 7mm you were tauting.
While reading post #39 I could not help but notice you never got back with the BC of the 170 Grain Norma load that was supposed to be such a great 7mm load.It does not have anything todo withYou ignoring theoverwhelming facts when they contradict what you think. Is it.
