[QUOTE="marc357, post: 95104, member: 1786"] [ QUOTE ] Unfortunately, they are not. You can't believe Barnes' advertised BCs. The 165 TSX is going to have a lower BC than the 165 BT/AB and it'll be a good shot lower than the 180 BT/AB. If you want to stretch the legs of that rifle, the plastic-tipped 180's or 200 AB are going to make life much easier than the lighter, lower BC bullets. I'm anxious to try the new MRX's though. Their actual BC's should finally be on par with the Ballistic Tips, Accubonds. Of course when you want to get really serious, the heavier Wildcats, when available, will be excellent choices. The new 210 SMK might turn out to be a great bullet as well. [/ QUOTE ] I have shot the 180 Ballistic Tips at long range, and my results show their advertised BC to be Greatly exaggerated.... although they are VERY accurate... I was wondering if you had any data to back up (or refute) my results...? The advertised BC is .507, I come up with more like .415 what say you? [/QUOTE]
