[QUOTE="groper, post: 473527, member: 12550"] The BC of the 325RMB is VERY optimistic to say the least... in reality its alot less than 1.0 and over long range the AVERAGE BC, which is the number your interested in to input your ballistic calculator, is much less than this. The 370gr RMB in .375cal, has an average real world BC of about .87. The 350SMK in 375cal, has an average real world BC of .78. Having never shot the 338 RMB, i cannot give you real world numbers, but there is no way its over 1.0. Having shot numberous other bullets in 338cal including super slick solids, so far none of them have exceeded a real world BC of ~0.93 (which was a copper solid). So, id ask around for an experienced person that has ACCURATELY figured a real world BC for the .338 bullets before you "run the numbers" on paper and base your desicions on that. I can tell you tho, that with copper solids, the .375 cheytac wildcats whips the .338 cheytac wildcats in ultra long range ability. Out to 1000yds, (which isnt really long range for these calibers) you cant tell the difference between them. [/QUOTE]
