[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 356870, member: 7999"] I ran some arbitrary #'s. A .338 250g with bc of .638 and .438 @ 3000fps. All else equal. At 600yrds there is a 9" difference in wind drift @ 10mph full value wind. 16" vs 25". Now in my mind this is a huge difference in bc. But in reality not a huge difference in drift. I started this thread in light of some of the recent bickering about bc's. And my thought was basically the same as Michael's. I look at the bc of a bullet as a potential bonus. I would like to hear from others on this, so keep it coming. Steve [/QUOTE]
