[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 59919, member: 10"] Ttrader388 I would second what Goodgrouper has posted. I will also say that for extreme range shooting, I have yet to find a manufacturer supplied B.C. that was right on the money and that is due to many of the factors that GD posted. ITs just impossible to put a single number on B.C. that works all the time. But, I will also say, bullet makers like Berger and even Sierra tend to offer B.C. values that are much more accurate then many of the other big bullet makers. I have found the Nosler B.C. values to be highly overrated at times. Have seen the same with some of the Hornady listings. Seems they used these numbers as a sales pitch but it really raised heel when your starting out a new rifle project with a certain bullet and the B.C. is no where near what is listed. They are all just s reference point to start your testing from. Bergers will be very similiar depending on the criteria that will effect B.C. the most, altitude is a big one. Good Shooting!!!
