Does anyone have any input on matrix ballistics bullets? How are their BC's that much higher than everyone elses? I was looking at their 210 grain 308, its bc is .75 when the 208 a max is .648

I would like to hear your findings on them. Are you going for his 190's? Thru some research on the 190's guys are reporting using about .610 for them not .8 but say they are accurate.

Probably going to run the 168s because of powder capacity of the 7mm-08. But I have a 1 in 8 twist coming so I can run the 190s. My cousin will be running a 284 before long and I'll let you know how he does with the 190s.

Thanks,

Let me know how the 168's do. Am interested in them but haven't found any reports on how close the BC is.

I beleive Bryan Litz is going to have some of Matrixx bullets in his 2nd edition
 
Re: matrix ballistics ?

His numbers are computer based. The owner is a good guy. Had a few emails with him and he freely states they are computer generated.
 
Re: matrix ballistics ?

I have shot the 190g Matrix at about 2850 fps beside the 180g Hybrid at 2950 fps. The listed BC of the Hybrid bullet per Litz is 0.674. Shooting the bullets side by side, I used the same dope with the same POI from 100y out to 600 yards. I am not sure what that would make the BC of the Matrix bullets.

I shot an F-class match at 600 yards shooting both bullets to compare. With the same dope, I shot a 95-4Xs with the 190g Matrix and 93-1X with the Hybrids.

I need to shoot more of them, but so far I like them.

Bryan Litz has been given ALL of the Matrix match bullets for testing. He has not started testing them yet though...
