I am sure there will be real world shooting when the bullets are available.
BC is one thing, consistent itty bitty groups are another.
Sounds promising... let's see those groups.

Looking at the prices I am guessing $1 a bullet for the .308s. I guess not bad if you only shoot 45 rounds in a day.
In discussing low-drag bullets, it is worth looking at: http://lutzmoeller.net/English/Haack_minimum_drag_bullet.phpsuper hi
Unconfirmed rumour is that the USA government bought all rights.
Regardless, Lutz is a very clever physicist who has made top shelf bullets.

30 Cal 155gn = $62.50
30 Cal 175gn = $67.50
30 Cal 200gn = $72.50
338 Cal 255gn = $82.50
FOR A QTY of 50!
Much more than a 1$/each in Canada and getting very close to 2$.
Impressive though. I don't think my skills are there but would be fun to try!

These are what I thought of when I saw them too.

I know people who are already running long actions so they can load their .308win really long with heavy bullets and still run a mag.
That would certainly work for these new bullets. For me they would offer no advantage in competition (I'm not that good) and my SA mags top out at 3" Oal. I did manage to get in some good practice this year and will hopefully do better at next months shoot than last years.
I've generally understood or perhaps assumed, that longer bullets with a light density were more easily moved around in the wind due to much higher area for wind to push against, and lower energy density of course.
But I'm probably wrong.
It'll be interesting to see some real world user experience/data on them and how it affects fouling and so on. Probably means different load data as in the case of most other solid copper bullets.
Pretty surprising they're able to turn them that cheap and consider it a worthwhile business opportunity.

From the article:
"The 155.5gr 30 caliber bullet has the velocity of a 125-135gr bullet and has the BC of a 185-200gr bullet. The 255.5gr 338 caliber bullet has the velocity of a 225gr bullet and the BC of the 300gr bullet."
Is this possible without increasing chamber pressures? Do they seal better than other bullets? I'd like to see future results from these.
