[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 668525, member: 34818"] I think the point that they were trying to make is that if you had two bullets of the same bullet type, one being lighter than the other but both had the same BC, tue lighter bullet would win out. You could also drive the lighter bullet faster. I agree with that but the fact is that it just doesn't happen where the lighter bullet of the same make has a higher BC than the heavier bullet. LTLR compared a lighter bullet that he was testing to the 300 gr SMK saying that the lighter bullet has a higher BC and thus flies better and farther. That may well be but it isn't the same design as te SMK. I bet you TONS of money that if the maker of that lighter bullet made a 300 gr bullet, it would have a higher BC than the lighter one that was made before. If BC is everything, then why not use the highest BC bullet out there for the caliber that you are using? If you do that with any bullet company, using the same design, it will be the heaviest bullet of that design that has the higher BC. [/QUOTE]
