[QUOTE="308175, post: 8374, member: 1102"] Gents, Not all BC's are what they seem. Because the 308 win is for lack of a better term "ballanced" or as I like to think of it "mathematically square" many bullets fired from a 308 win have much higher BC's than what the books show. I have seen 178 Amax bullets fired around 2550 FPS and had a BC of around .560 I also have found 155 Palma bullets to be closer to .500 at 2900 FPS (in 308)than the .450 Sierra states. Also Sierra will tell you that the 155 palma (in 308) will have a higher BC than the 168 and you can drive em faster, yet their manual states the 168 to be .462 for the 168. Its all interesting stuff, but "real world" The 308 does better than many folks realize. [/QUOTE]
