[QUOTE="load, post: 604379, member: 22789"] some people put bc above all else as you can see from many of these posts. however if a bullet wont shoot out of your gun ( which is the case for vld bullets and many guns) than you might as well just throw rocks! the best thing to do is try different bullets and see what shoots best. if you loose a few moa in elevation or windage but your patterns are tighter than you have a winner. for example berger 210 grain tacticals do not shoot well out of my rifle but the longer bearing surface of the 225 grain hornady match does the trick, switch to the 230 grain tacticals and the pattern opens up again, not as much but it does. one way i gain velocity with roughly the same bc but loose accuracy the other way i gain bc but again loose accuracy. i'll go with the accuracy over these two situations every time. as long as your velocity and bc combination gets you to the range you wish to shoot than accuracy counts more than bc and velocity gun) [/QUOTE]
