I/we know the 185's will work for you and we are still really just trying 40x215 bullet in other twist rates.

Lehigh, by mathematical calculations, still only suggests Fast Twist bores. And my thoughts are it should stay that way until we can really say it will work in other rates of twist. Remember we are just a bunch of hunters like you who really wanted a heavier-higher BC 40 cal. bullet for a fast twist 45. The bullet was a compromise between the 40x200 and the 40x230 which never made the market. It is a hunting bullet.

When Lehigh dreamed up this compromise the new nose that they designed has maybe revolutionized the new bullet upping the BC to a number that is possibly far better than our little group of hunters would have thought.

Probably the only reason we are even trying this bullet in slower twists is because I decided to try it in a 1-30 really not expecting anything but a tumbling bullet for lack of stabilization. I called the other to guys involved with our trying this new bullet and suggested they try it also - just to see if it were a fluke that they shot so well and grouped so well from a 1-30. One guy tried in a DISC Elite and they were all over the place. The other guy tried and like I had very good success - even to 300 yards.

I think there are still some un-answered questions and thoughts we would like to pursue.

So if you do purchase a box of the 215's there is a chance that they might not perform for you.

As you look at the image of shot #1 from SShooter's Redemption there may have been some bullet yawing. Yet what more could you ask of a hastily shot 3 shot group?

SHunt these are just my thoughts at the moment.
