The Nosler "tech" is using imaginary science.
Brian Litz, the ballistician from Berger, has had an open challenge since 2015, to anyone that could prove non-linear dispersion (bullets going to sleep). In 9 years it has never happened...
I have a CZ 457 in 22 Mag. I put a Lilja barrel on it, and it shoots very well.
I also have a CZ 457 varmint in 17 HMR and a Ruger American in 17 HMR. The CZ is a much better rifle all the way around.
I would add ADG to the Lapua & LC. Not sure why some brass is better, but some seem to have figured out the right mix of copper/zinc/trace elements. Along with the right manufacturing process. The rest crank out soft, inconsistent products.
So if the bullet is heading to the right at 100 yards and goes to sleep, it veers to the left past 100 yards? And bullets going left veer right? Low bullets veer up? High bullets veer down? How do they know when and where to veer?
They are bureaucrats like rats in a maze.
They don't:
Get to keep the $$.
Don't realize anything ever.
Are not forward thinking enough to ever come up with a plan like that.
I totally understand that. I have been using the 105 VLDH because of that.
My position was from the Berger marketing department. I don't know that they would know why someone would ask for a 120, when they are not using the 115. And if they don't know, how good would their 120 be B.C. wise?
I...
Just playing devil's advocate here ( I would love a 120+ bullet). If I am working at Berger, reading your email, my first question is: Why aren't you using our 115 Grain instead of the 108? Why build a 120, when you aren't using our heaviest available 6mm now?
All good points. But even though ACE was a small company, they didn't make the Blackjack's, Sierra did. Just like Sierra makes the Dtacs. If a "small" company (@Unknown Munitions) could order enough, a 120+ TMK could happen.
I have a shooting chrony that worked the last time I used it. Put it on the shelf 5 years ago when I bought a LabRadar. $20 to cover shipping and it's yours.
Thanks for the tip! Mine isn't terrible, but not as good as I would like. When I first got the DAA it wouldn't work at all, so I had to do some sanding.
