[QUOTE="Varminator 911, post: 219189, member: 9705"] Jon: I don't think we disagree on anything. I guess it's just a matter of what you call a significant increase in bc. I don't call the increase in bc between the 225 and 250 accubond significant. But it is an increase, so it will carry greater energy to long range. But because the 250 starts out slower, it is questionable (I haven't run the numbers) if the 250 will show less winddrift at any range over which these bullets are effective, say 1000 yds.

This longer 250 would likely still function in most 338s, if not do one that will, say 0.65. I'm sure there is a higher than 0.575 that would function. Why doesn't this happen?
