[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1894624, member: 2939"] don't tell me about .284 having[B] the BC edge. [/B]I shot competitively with a 7STW. The whole idea of the perfect bullet having the highest BC is more what I was getting at. I have seen the BC numbers on every cal for many years and it doesn't give them the [B]winning edge![/B] Any caliber on paper having the highest BC doesn't make them an instant winner. It appears to me that the competitive winners has more to do with case design. big shoulder angles and long throats. I also think that as bullet weight goes up so do barrel harmonics and barrel whip. [B]7mm Ballistic Performance[/B] There are several heavy, high-BC match bullets offered in 7mm including the 175gr SMK, 180gr JLK and Berger VLDs. Berger claims a 0.684 BC for its 180gr VLD bullet. There are no bullets of a smaller caliber that have higher BCs than these 7mm bullets. The following table shows the ballistic advantages of 7mm cartridges. If You really want high BC get into really big 30 a 338 cal [/QUOTE]
