[QUOTE="pods8, post: 986542, member: 83233"] That would be a trajectory issue not a muzzle velocity issue. BC doesn't make things shoot slower out of the barrel it makes them slow faster in the air. Also their BC isn't terribly different, my opinion. Looking at the 168gr 30cal ttsx they list .470, Berger is .473 and .496 for their two 168gr bullets. Most the other tipped bullets are in the .47-.49 range. Look things up and run the numbers. This assumes you desire the type of terminal performance a barnes bullet has, otherwise lots of other bullets to consider too if you're focused on BC. [/QUOTE]
