[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2533454, member: 106189"] The Berger Stability Calculator does not incorporate necessary adjustments for bullets with plastic tips, as none of their bullets have them (but Barnes LRX does). As a result, the Berger calculator will underestimate stability of bullets with plastic tips. Use the JBM calculator for bullets with plastic tips. It shows that even at velocities of around 2,600 fps and twist of 1:10 the Barnes LRX 200g has a stability factor of 1.5, meaning no loss of BC.
