[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1598830, member: 54178"] Rather than obsess over BC (Ballistic Coefficient) look rather at CD (Coefficient of Drag) which is ballistically more relevant. Once into 215 gr. or above VLD or hybrid ogive/secant bullets we get quite low CD figures. Those will likely be the bullets used for the 300 PRC. I have several boxes of .30 caliber Berger 230 gr. Hybrid bullets. On the box label: [B]"Specifically Designed for Tactical Applications in the XM2010" [/B] The XM2010 is the old Army M24 Remington long action re-barreled in .300 Win mag and put into a Cadex-designed chassis. Cadex is a Canadian company. I am not a fan of their designs for several reasons. Barrett's MRAD solves all the Cadex problems and then some. IMHO: -> With the Barrett MRAD we have a better action and chassis. -> With the 300 PRC we have a marginally better .30 caliber cartridge. (Over the .300 Win mag) "Better" + "better" = Much better for our snipers. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
