[QUOTE="tdot, post: 2355905, member: 91330"] I've seen the same thing the one time that I checked a bullet the AB had, most of the time they haven't tested the bullets that I shoot. At the time I recall reading an explanation online that it had something to do with AB's testing protocol. I believe they average the BC all the way down to the speed of sound, at which point the open nose of the Hammer's has a disproportionately negative effect on the average BC. Hammer's listed BC's are measured at a different, arguably more realistic, velocity (for a bullet that isn't designed specifically as a LR Bullet) [/QUOTE]
