[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 333349, member: 13833"] I think the answer lies in "how far is long range"? I would use the interbond out to maybe 500 yds. and the sst at longer ranges. I'm not as familiar with the interbond, but the likely reason for lower B.C. is one or both of these two things. A different ogive and or jacket thickness. All else being equal, a thicker jacket will lower B.C. because copper is less dense than lead. Also, a lower density "lead allow" core can lower B.C. for the same reason. (this would be as opposed to a pure lead core)....Rich p.s. remember the formula for b.c. It's a combination of sectional density and bullet shape. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
