[QUOTE="husqvarna30, post: 203122, member: 10640"] Make a normal bullet out of aluminum and the BC goes down, make it out of tungsten and it goes up. I am curious how tungsten can make the B.C. go up. It would go up from aluminum, but not lead? I am no expert on the subject, but Lead has a density of 207.2 while Tungsten has a density of 184. If you are trying to get a heavier metal than lead, its going to be a tough endevor. After bismuth on the periodic table all your hair is going to fall out with radioactivity, or the metal will have a half life of micro seconds and be unstable. [/QUOTE]
