[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 764801, member: 63138"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]I was looking at the new Nosler Long Range Accubonds. They expand all the way down to 1,300 fps minimum terminal velocity and with the huge BCs, they should be impressive. In particular, the 30 cal, 210 grain looks amazing. Nosler lists the BC at 0.730, but since Nosler uses ICAO standards as opposed to standard metro conditions to establish their BCs, I have to multiply their published BC by 1.018 for use with my ballistics program. This results in a BC of 0.743!
