(3) With each 1% decrease in bullet weight you get a decrease of 1% in recoil.Cutting the weight of a 130gr bullet to 108gr is a 17% reduction, so according to Rule (1), the velocity increase would be only 8.5%, not 30%. Which gives an energy increase of 18%, not 60%.
So ballpark..If this works out these bullet should get somethin like a 30% increase in velocity, 60% increase energy and @ least 30 decrease in recoil. At the expense of some loss in BC but maintaining the same SD.
And SD will not remain the same after reducing the bullet weight. SD (as well as BC) will be significantly lower.
