[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 1024144, member: 268"] John, I think it's safe to say that .640 is wishful thinking. I used .569 based off of Bryan Litz's testing and results he posted on this forum. That number seemed accurate in my shooting. I mostly shoot the 208 Amax, with a BC of .648 G1. Having a fair amount of experience with the 208 in the wind, I could tell this 190 ABLR was getting moved around more, consistent with the lower BC. Even though the 190 was getting started 180 fps faster than the 208 (2920 vs 2740). I believe Jeff (Broz) did some work with the 210 gr ABLR, and found it's actual BC was about .100 lower than advertised, making it pretty close to the 208 Amax, and 210 Berger in actual BC. It appears the advertised BCs of the Nos ABLR's have some 'fluff' added for sales appeal to the LR crowd. [/QUOTE]
