[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 251119, member: 1007"] I dont know why it happened. I just know it happened. Has it happened for me in every rifle? No. In fact it only did it for me in one rifle and it was a given load to boot. Call me crazy. The bullets were only dropping 6 MOA at 600 yards and should have been dropping 7.85 MOA. In case youre wondering, yes, I know how to calculate proper ballistics. This is the only time I have ever experianced this. The next closest thing was the 190 SMK in my rig yielding a .563 BC and the 155 AMAX which was giving me a .474 BC (0.014) over published, which is only slightly above published. Most other bullets I have used offer less than published. Now I am not going to sit here and tell you that it couldnt be other variables to offer an illusion of a ultra high BC but I certainly could never figure out what those variables could be. It was what is was. All atmosperic data was collected and calculated minus humidity, zero was spot on at 300 yards. No my sight height was not misscalculated. In short yes I believe a given bullet in perfect harmony with all of the factors that go into internal and exterior ballistics and their relationship with eachother can in some circumstances give way to BC's that are off the chart. I guess you have never had such an experiance? There is a link below from some time ago about when I originaly had this phenomenon. Jerry Teo shared similar results with similar bullets.
