THE V440 CONCEPT
The concept of this cartridge is to give Vigilance Rifles Inc. it's own Bad Ass Cartridge that will fit in standard 10 Shot 50 BMG Magazines.
The cartridge was engineered first to those specs before going in to production of Reamers, Dies and Bullets. The overall jump of this bullet is .030 whilst being at a OAL of 5.450
First firing after forming brass has provided 3/8 - 5 shot groups.
Fire Formed Brass and Neck Sized only, produces even better results.
21 MOA up from 100 yard zero to the 1000 yard target - about a 1.0 BC.
The 1:11 twist rate contributes to longer distance stability.
2 shock waves on the RBBT bullet also contributes to longer distance stability.
