[QUOTE="Rhovee, post: 1720540, member: 101820"] Question for the BC experts. Calculating a bullets BC is not a difficult task. The primary reason i choose a bullet is it's ability to not be kicked around in the wind. But how does the shape of the bullet not effect a full value wind (9 or 3 O'clock)? This would be very hard to measure BC this way. I have heard from multiple bench rest shooters that they see bullets fight the wind better even though on a chart it wouldn't. Examples would be the 105 VLD VS 115 VLD and 215 Hybrid VS 230 Hybrid. These don't have huge BC advantages over each other on paper when velocity is factored in. But on paper at 1K it is very obvious that MOA dialed for correct wind is drastically different than what charts say. [/QUOTE]
