[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 492477, member: 7848"] Since this bullet has a wide meplat (0.075") to begin with, I expect you could improve the BC by as much as 8%-10% by pointing the meplat. Bullets with smaller meplats (~-.058" to 0.064") have less to gain from pointing, around 2% to 4 or 5% typically. The BC's stated by Matrix are estimates, and are therefore subject to quite a bit of error when compared to actual test results. Marshal is a good fella and knows this, but the prediction method was the only tool available to him and he wanted to provide something for BC's instead of nothing. I don't believe he's deliberately inflating the numbers, just using the only tool available to him. -Bryan [/QUOTE]
