Not sure if I trust their numbers, but if they're for real these could be potential competitors to some of Black Hills' offerings.

For what velocities is that BC good for? I couldn't find it.

Out of my rifle Sierra 77gr TMKs have a G1 BC of .420 at the muzzle, .415 out to about 150 yards, .395 to 350 yards, and .380 out to just past 550.

I'm not ballistictician, but maintaining .416 beyond 500 yards for example, would be yuggeee.

I think a side-by-side comparison of not only 77 TMKs but MK 262 MOD 1 would show a lot regarding the potential of these rounds.
