[QUOTE="RustyRick, post: 921672, member: 69572"] Quote I suspect that the grooves in the Barnes bullets don't help the BC one bit, just like similar grooves and bumps don't help the airflow of your car at speed. So, they probably start with a bit of a disadvantage. Being an old pilot and golfer, the reason that golf balls have dimples is to create "LOW PRESSURE" zones around the ball. That makes the fly faster and farther. I have wondered why more bullets don't have the groves and believe that they would make for flatter faster shooting bullets is canaled. GS Custom Bullets of South Africa may be in the grove on that? [/QUOTE]
