[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 606508, member: 10"] One thing we also need to remember is that once we get to a BC of around .650 in the G1 scale, the ballistic advantges of a higher BC bullet do not gain as much advantage as most would think. By that I mean, if you compare a .3 BC bullet to a .6 BC bullet and then compare a .6 BC bullet to a .9 BC bullet, the advantage does not stay consistant as the BC increases. Point being, find a bullet that your rifle likes and shoots well with a good BC and get out and do as much practical field practice shooting as possible, in the end, you will be much more consistant with that then trying to chase the highest BC bullets around thinking they will make you more effective at long range. They certainly help but if you can get a bullet with a +.650 BC to shoot very well in your rifle and you have an accurate drop solution and can accurately read the shooting conditons you will be MUCH more effective then someone that keeps looking for the absolute highest BC bullet they can find thinking that bullet will make them more effective at long range. In some respects that is true but its time on the range more then anything else that will make you effective, not the bullet used. Just throwing it out there. Now if you can get the best of both worlds, GO FOR IT, hell I have made a living doing just that!!! LOL [/QUOTE]
