Badlands Precision, BullDozer II and SuperBullDozers Higher High BC Monos

[Horse1]

Higher BCs (~6% higher) than 1st gen BullDozers and new offerings including multiple "Super BullDozers" for 1:7-1:8 specific rifles.

Pard bought and received some 70gn .224's and 100gn .243's. 70's are .470 and 100's are .600 both suggesting 1:7 twist.

I just received:

95gn .257 @ .425 minimum 1:10 twist

140gn .277 @ .650 minimum 1:8 twist

175gn .308 @ .605 minimum 1:10 twist

They took 9 business days from order to receipt..........

Nice to see new stuff coming out.

Would be interested to hear how your experience jives with their listed BC. My guess is that they are quite optimistic, given that they list a ". 7" G1 for their 264 135gr and hornady lists ". 697" for the 147ELDM.

Supposedly they shoot to determine the BC.

Nuzzler said the same thing....................(grin)

I’ve had the 7mm bulldozer 2’s on order for a week or so now just to see whats what. Tracking says they are close.
Loving the Hammer hunters, but looking for something that retains the petals and leaves a larger exit hole.

What rifle/chambering?................

 

[Chesapeake]

Current setup is 7 rem mag, 143 HH, 68 grains RE23, 3100 fps. Fairly mild load that's easy on brass. Light recoil in my 9# rifle.
At 5k elevation 8.8 mil off my 200 yard zero was good for 1100 yards. 2 mil at 500 yards.
Have killed 4 elk with it (486, 450, 515, and 70 yards). 2 head shots and 2 high shoulder. No tracking needed so far.

Plan to start similar with the Bulldozer, Norma brass, CCI mag, RE23.

Which rifle? I can't help but default to RPM,throat geometry and COAL.

7mm RemMag SCREAMS 180 ELD or better yet 190 Beer Can for me.

At 5K elevation with a 200yd zero,a 21" 7-08 with a 180 at 2600fps is a 8.9 Mil ele correction,with 40grs powder. I'd mention wind,but that ain't even fair,nor is velocity retention.



If only for conversation..................(grin)

Its a factory BDL Remington AWR. 9.25 twist 5R 24" barrel.

Pretty well any VLD cup/core bullet will outrun the 143 HH (.230 G7). I like the mono's for penetration, lack of meat damage and bloodshot. They give up a lot in down range performance. But I don't hunt much beyond 500 yards, so mono works for me. If I was going to stretch out past 600 I'd go cup and core.

180 ELD's would be my opening move,in that platform.................

 

[bobnob]

Far out, that 7/08 with the 180 makes my 308W shooting 168g Amaxes at 2700fps look pretty sad.

 

[Big Stick]

I reckon not...as it did the 7mm RemMag no favors...............(grin)

257Wby/95's

270Win/140's

 

[Big Stick]

88's,105's,208's and 212's thus far today. Them 212's make a rather NICE "splash" and are easy to catch,on a platform with largely no recoil................(grin)
