[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 136264, member: 10"] Catshooter, Please do not tell me you feel that it is impossible to make a 55 gr 6mm bullet with a higher BC then a 55 gr 22 cal bullet??? Simple Physics 101 tells you that a bullets length and ogive and boattail have MUCH More to do with BC then actual bullet weight. There are many ways to build a larger caliber bullet that is longer then a smaller one and still weigh the same to allow a higher BC for the larger diameter same weight bullet. Ever wonder why a 105 gr A-Max has a higher BC then a 105 gr Speer SP flat base. Think outside the box my friend. All things in bullets and ballistics are not as rigid and fixed as you make them out to be, have a little imagination and some fun!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Every set of published BC are to some degree pretty optomistic. Sierras are about the closest I have seen but even they are dependant on the situations they are used in. If I remember correctly, the 22-250 was used with great success as a BR round and even set many records for its time as a wildcat. Do you see it much on the BR line anymore??? Does that make it an obsolete design? hardly. I am not BR shooting, I could care less what the latest fad is on the BR line. Your numbers are not right for what is possible with modern rifles, bullets and powders. Need to catch up and see whats possible today, the 6-223 will smoke a 223 in every aspect with the new modern lightweight, good BC bullets in that caliber. Again, not wanting to flame things here but your comments are not correct in any way.
