[QUOTE="Meister, post: 111430, member: 4118"] A BC to BC comparison such as shawn has done will tell quite a lot, one thing being that if one bullet has a better tip-over balance it will retain its energy better because it doesn't "show" as much bearing surface to the wind as it drops on target at long range. This is another variable to consider when comparing two bullets of similar bc in different calibers or manufacturers. If a bullet isn't properly stabilized and balanced it will slow faster and group poorly at extreme distances. This is one of the reasons I have stayed away from 2 high bc bullets in favor of a lower bc highly balanced bullet. By no means am I knocking a high bc bullet, just my personal preference. [/QUOTE]
