[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1309498, member: 78762"] I usually go with a average BC when it's listed in several Mach ranges. I also pay more attention to the form factor when I choose a bullet. I also pay attention to consistency, I don't necessarily need the highest BC, just a accurate one. Bullet weight and bearing surface consistency makes more of a difference to me than a couple of BC points. A bullet with a super high BC doesn't mean squat to me if I can't get it fast enough to out run a lighter bullet with a lower BC. The 130 match hybrid comes to mind when I compared it to the averaged BC of the 147 ELD and the intended ranges I was shooting. The 130 had a flatter trajectory with my particular rifle all the way out to 1000 yards. So once my rifles became more precise, I started seeing the flaws in bullet manufacturing and how much velocity plays a role in my bullet selection. [/QUOTE]
