This confirms exactly what I have seen with particular brands of projectiles. Shooting in the same
conditions on the same day, some projectiles show more vertical than others despite excellent
ES numbers and a consistent shooter. Really stands out over a mile with my 300NM and 338.
For EG; using 225 ELDm's we saw 4+ moa of vertical at 2 k. Despite the mild conditions, we were
thinking ok, theres an updraft or something we are not seeing shooting over two small valleys.
Swapped ammo to the 230 Berger and the vertical disappeared, despite a slightly higher ES.
After scratching my head with AMAX's for years, and seeing Hornady make a big noise about
their new A-Tips, variable bullet BC explains a lot.
I know some guys batch weigh their projectiles and sort base to ogive, for those of us who are
time poor we need to rely on consistent performance within a certain batch number. Lapua,
Berger seem to be the most consistent out of the box. Would be nice to run solids all day but $$$.
