.585 XLC Barnes bullet
Not sure if this is old news but I just got an email from Ty herring saying the above bullet is available in 750gn weight.

jeffeossookay..
WOW!! what a bullet...
and wow what a gun to drive it fast enough....
i think barnes prefer 1900fps and up... classic load for a 577 is 2050... so, less than 100 yards...
but DANG what a 585 nyati load

500grainsI would be delighted if Brnes made a bullet to duplicate the Bridger or GS Custom solid. But an expanding bullet is not really need in .50 or above if a good solid is used.
I don't think the 585 really needs a barnes bullet either.
The main attraction for me would be whether it entertains any sort of spitzer shape, since it would look interesting.Also for admiring a high BC when hunting from an armchair with a calculator.

I haven't seen one but would assume its probably pretty blunt.
