[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 54066, member: 34"] Boyd I must disagree with that last BC statement you made. Theres NO 168gr that will have the BC of a 200 or 210 or 220 gr match bullet. BC of the 168 gr----.475 BC BC of the 210 gr ---.625 BC to .645 BC 2800 fps and 3000 fps won't make up for that much BC difference. The smallest 30 cal bullet that has done very well at Williamsport was a 175 gr and that was only "ONCE" that I know of and remember. The conditions were very good when it was used to. 168gr don't do well and mainly because of the low BC. The 168 gr bullets were tried with a lot more velocity then 3000 FPS in the past. That again was the point I was trying to make for 1000 yard match shooting. Later DC PS---It's really not so much keeping them all on paper for the 10 matches, it's also where you end up in the final 6 or 10 match aggs. No factory rifle does very well in the final aggs especially when shooting agains custom guns. [ 10-19-2003: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
