[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 136203, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] catshooter- I believe fifty was talking about the 55g nosler btips. If you look at the BC's, the 224" 55g is .267, the 6mm 55g is .276. [/ QUOTE ] There is a flaw in those BCs... if you take the same weight bullet (55 grains) and make one long and skinny, and one shorter and fatter, it is ballistically IMPOSSIBLE for the short/fat one to have a higher BC than the long/skinny one - just plain physics 101. Nosler makes good bullets, but their BCs are "creative". They do not shoot as flat as their numbers would suggest. And (not with standing the above), the BCs are still lower than the BK .224 equivelent, and they aren't launched as fast... that equals a step backwards for the 6mm/.223. It was a very popular Benchrest cartridge about 20 years ago... if it was a better round, don't you think someone would have figured out 20 years ago??? No one shoots that round anymore. And there is a reason. . [/QUOTE]
