[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 279593, member: 7999"] I may be dead wrong, so someone correct me. To my reasoning an all copper bullet of the same weight and shape as the 240 SMK will be a longer bullet w/ the same shape. Has to have a higher bc. An all copper bullet that is of the exact same dimension as the 240SMK would be lighter with very nearly the same bc, slightly less. Substantially lighter means substantially faster velocity. To my way of thinking the faster slightly lower bc bullet will out run the slower slightly better bc farther than you can accurately range find. If I am wrong, I need someone much smarter than I am to explain it for me. Steve [/QUOTE]
