[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 980644, member: 1521"] It is true that all ballistic designs begin with the bullet. Everything is built around it. Also, beyond tactical, accuracy is the most powerful of attributes. And in the long run, cartridge designs that are sustainable in a shooting system, are more accurate. Finally, there is field function/practicality. So it's not enough to just pick a highest BC bullet. The next question would be; 'can the bullet be released accurately?' And the next question: 'how long can that accuracy last with it?' Then; 'is there any real world use for it?', 'what does the real world need?' When you break it down like this & plot it out, you'll go right past the big boomers, and past tiny underbores, and you'll ignore all things 'tactical'. You'll end up at mid-cal and at correct capacity(not highest) for the chosen bullet weight. Once you've studied all the cartridge design books, and set yourself up with the best in design software, and the best in reloading tools,, it's not difficult really, but time consuming. There will never be a single formula. [/QUOTE]
