[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1934402, member: 2736"] Shooting many different brands of bullets, I have never found the published BC's to be spot on with any brand and found that the drop chart best decided what the BC's were in my rifle. I live at 18 ft above sea level and realize that this has a bearing on the ballistics so I test the drop against the velocity at different distances. Most bullet manufactures calculate the BC with ideal conditions, (Low humidity, higher altitude and at ambient temperatures) so unless your hunting conditions can closely match theirs, The BC's will probably not match. Once the TRUE ballistics of a bullet in your rifle are found the software is very accurate. Interestingly enough, I have never found BC's to exceed the the advertised BC but again this could be the conditions that I mostly hunt in. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
